ANZ LMI is the in house mortgage insurer for ANZ bank and the underwriter for all of their home loans that are mortgage insured. They work exclusively with ANZ so you won’t be able to access them unless you apply for a mortgage through ANZ.
How does ANZ LMI compare?
Pros
- Offering cheaper premiums for some loan sizes
- Approving existing ANZ customers with a good credit history
- Approving applications with basic documents – often just one payslip is needed!
- Just relying on one year’s tax returns to approve self-employed applications
- Considering mortgage insured loans over $1 million
Cons

- New borrowers cannot borrow over 90% LVR
- Investors cannot borrow over 90% LVR
- LMI can be expensive for some loan sizes
The ‘existing borrower’ favoritism
- At least one borrower must qualify
- Must have been an existing borrower for 6 months
- Your repayments must be in full and on time
- A credit card, home loan, investment loan, small business loan, overdraft or personal loan is acceptable
What isn’t an existing lending customer?
- Loans in the name of your company
- Closed accounts such as a credit card you closed a month ago
- Other accounts like a savings or cheque account
Don’t worry if ANZ can’t help you!
There are other lenders that may allow you to borrow over 90% of the property value.
