What are the home-loan options available at P&N Bank?

Your First Home Loan

P&N Bank provides the following products for owner-occupier first home loan clients, as of September 2024:

Fixed Home Loan: Fixed mortgage payments for a term of 1 to 5 years.

Offset Home Loan: Low variable rate for owner-occupiers with an optional 100% offset account, allowing 95% LVR.

Refinance or Second Home Loans

Many of the home loan products for refinancing or second-home purchase are the same as for first-home buyer loans.

One addition to the list is a Bridging Loan product, which can provide a short-term solution for when one has already found a new home but hasn’t sold the old one yet.

Investment Property Loans

For people looking to buy an investment property, P&N Bank has three home loan options, as of 16 May 2021:

& Investment loan: Low variable rate loan ranging up to 90% LVR, with an interest-only option available.

Fixed-rate home loan: Fixed mortgage payments for a term of 1 to 5 years, with rates slightly higher than other fixed-rate home loan options.

Equity Access: A flexible line of credit loan with low variable rates starting at just $20,000.

Equity Access Loans

P&N Bank allows its clients to access the equity in their homes using Equity Access and Reverse Mortgage Loans, where people above 65 years of age can borrow against the equity of their home for a comfortable life after retirement.

Both of these options have variable interest rates that are higher than for other home loan products at P&N Bank.
