The War on Banks!!
It’s now all guns blazing as the major banks don their combat apparel and blast off counter offers.

NAB recently fired the first shot when it offered to pay the $700 exit fees for customers wanting to switch from the CBA and Westpac.
NAB’s other offer is to waive application fees for any new non-NAB customers who refinance through Homeside.
Westpac has responded with advertisements that offer to waive annual fees on some mortgages as well as offering rate discounts up to 0.8%.
Westpac are also offering healthy incentives and fee discounts to refinance business loans.
BankSA’s $700 refinance rebate is available to new & existing customers who refinance their home loans from an external financial institution to BankSA and take out a packaged loan (excluding refinances from St George).
CBA’s incentive is for existing NAB/Homeside customers who will be given a cash incentive of:
- $1200, if they refinance their NAB/Homeside home loan (including Line of Credit)
- $100, if they open a credit card account (personal liability, consumer or business) or
- $100, if they open a Smart or Complete Access account.
ANZ have increased their standard discounts on loans greater than $250,000 in lieu of refinance rebates. Discounts up to 0.8% on Standard Variable Rates and Lines of Credit may apply. Also a discount of 0.15% on fixed rates.
