ANZ home loan review

Updated 23 Sept 2026

ANZ is an established Australian lender, and Ratesniffers tracks 35 of its home loan products across variable, fixed and interest-only options. Its lowest variable rate Ratesniffers tracks is 6.01% p.a., and its lowest fixed rate is 6.49% p.a. That sits about 18 basis points below the market median of 6.19% p.a., putting it among the more competitive lenders right now.

Is ANZ a good home loan lender?

ANZ suits borrowers who want a branch network behind a loan with no set up or ongoing bank fees. Ratesniffers checked its published product comparison, offset and fee documents on 3 Sept 2026. The trade-off is that its packaged discount structure has gone and the offset is a paid monthly extra rather than an included feature.

The case for

  • Its sharpest variable rate sits below the market median of 6.19% p.a. in the rate snapshot on this page.
  • ANZ states there are no ANZ set up or ongoing fees on its Standard Variable, Simplicity PLUS and fixed rate home loans, with the optional ANZ One offset account billed separately at $10 a month on the Standard Variable and 1 year fixed loans.
  • The general fee schedule confirms ANZ does not charge a loan approval fee, a valuation administration fee or a monthly loan administration charge on a new home loan.
  • Redraw from extra repayments is available with no minimum redraw amount, through internet banking, a request form or by phone.
  • The Standard Variable Rate Home Loan has a $20,000 minimum loan and a term of up to 30 years.
  • Applications can be started online and completed with a specialist by phone, video call or in person at a branch.

What to weigh up

  • The ANZ Breakfree Package was discontinued on 10 September 2022, so the old packaged fee waivers are no longer offered.
  • The ANZ One offset account costs $10 a month per account, and an eligible loan can be linked to only one offset account.
  • ANZ Simplicity PLUS has no offset option at all, and a $50,000 minimum loan.
  • Fixed rate loans other than the 1 year term provide no access to an everyday offset account or to redraw.
  • Locking a fixed rate costs $750 per $1 million of the loan amount or part of it, and the late payment fee is $20 a month.

Who ANZ suits and who it does not

ANZ tends to suit borrowers who want branch, phone and video servicing from one of the largest lenders, and who are comfortable paying $10 a month for a single offset account rather than an annual package fee. It suits less well for anyone who wants multiple offset accounts, since an eligible ANZ loan links to only one, or an offset against a longer fixed term, which ANZ does not offer.

ANZ home loans: our verdict

ANZ is a credible choice whose lowest variable rate of 6.01% p.a. currently sits about 18 basis points below the market median, which is competitive today (last updated 23 Sept 2026). Whether it's right for you comes down to your deposit, the features you'll use, and how its real approved rate compares, so treat the headline as a starting point, not the final answer.

ANZ home loans: frequently asked questions

Is ANZ good for home loans?

ANZ fits borrowers who want branch access with no set up or ongoing bank fees on the loan itself. The trade-off is the offset: ANZ One costs $10 a month, one account per loan, and Simplicity PLUS has no offset at all. The Breakfree Package was discontinued in 2022. Checked 3 Sept 2026.

What are ANZ's home loan fees?

ANZ states there are no ANZ set up or ongoing fees on its main home loans, and does not charge a loan approval fee, valuation administration fee or monthly loan administration charge. Separate fees include $10 a month per ANZ One offset account, a $750 per $1 million lock rate fee and a $20 monthly late payment fee. Checked 3 Sept 2026.

Does ANZ offer an offset account?

Yes, the ANZ One offset account, at a $10 monthly servicing fee per account. An eligible ANZ loan can be linked to only one offset account. It is available on the Standard Variable Rate Home Loan and the 1 year fixed rate loan, and ANZ Simplicity PLUS is published as a basic variable loan with no offset. Checked 3 Sept 2026.

Does ANZ own Suncorp Bank?

Yes. ANZ confirmed on 31 July 2024 that it had completed its acquisition of Suncorp Bank, welcoming roughly 3,000 staff and 1.2 million customers into the ANZ group. The Suncorp Bank brand continues to trade separately, so comparing rates across both brands is worthwhile if you bank with either. Checked 3 Sept 2026.

Is the ANZ Breakfree package still available?

No. ANZ states the Breakfree Package was discontinued on 10 September 2022 as part of redesigning and simplifying its home loans. Existing customers keep their interest rate discount without paying an annual package fee, and all existing ANZ home loans were moved to ANZ's simpler fee structure at that time. Checked 3 Sept 2026.

How do ANZ's home loan rates compare to the market?

ANZ's sharpest variable rate currently sits about 18 basis points below the market median of 6.19% p.a., which is competitive today. This is computed from the live rates across the lenders Ratesniffers tracks, checked daily against each lender's current published pricing, so it reflects where ANZ stands right now rather than a fixed snapshot.
