How much can I borrow?
The amount that you can borrow will depend on your citizenship, visa and residency status. For more information please refer to the appropriate section of our website:
- Australian Expats: If you are an Australian citizen living outside of Australia.
- Temporary Residents: If you are a citizen of a foreign country and are residing in Australia on a temporary visa such as a 457 visa or partner visa.
- Foreign Investors: If you are not an Australian citizen and are not residing in Australia.
- NZ Citizens: If you are a New Zealand citizen then special lending guidelines will apply. If you’re a New Zealand citizen living in NZ, you can borrow up to 90% of the property value!
Your residency status is not the only factor that determines how much you can borrow. Your income and expenditure will also impact your borrowing power.

Can I get an interest rate discount?
Australian banks often offer special interest rate discounts to their best customers. These deals are known as professional packages.
With professional packages, generally the larger the loan the bigger the discount. These mortgages are usually available for people on higher incomes, with good asset positions or those considered low-risk borrowers.
Normally with a standard professional package you can get a discount of up to 0.7% below the Standard Variable Interest Rate without any negotiation. The interest rates listed above are the cheapest interest rates for non-residents that we can currently negotiate with our panel of lenders.
Depending on the size of the loan and the nature of your situation, bigger or smaller discounts may apply.
What is the RBA cash rate?
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is Australia’s central bank.
By influencing the money supply they indirectly set the variable interest rate for Australia’s banks. In recent years the Australian banks have seen their cost of funds move independently of the RBA‘s Cash Rate which has caused them to make changes to their home loan interest rates.
