How to apply
If you're interested in this loan you can press the green button and leave your details. To help you in the application process you should work out:
How much you want to borrow
The amount you have saved for a deposit
Whether you are co-borrowing
It's also worth checking your credit score before speaking to a mortgage specialist. You can get a free credit report here.
I understand that the application fee and settlement fee seems to be the same and could be confusing. An application fees are normally the upfront fee when you apply for a home loan. While a settlement fee is normally charged prior to the closing of a mortgage loan for expenses such as survey costs, appraisal (valuation) fee, attorney’s fee, insurance, etc.
Once you’re on that page, please feel free to compare your options using our table.
You can also ask for help from a mortgage broker. A mortgage broker is a professional who compares and helps you apply for home loans on your behalf. A good mortgage broker will give you personalised service all the way through to settlement.
I am dealing with a broker who has suggested a few lenders. It’s the first for me. Inexperienced as such. Is it true that brokers commission from the customer in a way that the bank such as ANZ would increase rates or fees to pay the broker? Just curious. Also, with the simplicity plus home loan at 4.03%, is it true you can withdrawal on available credit slightly different to that of an offset account? If details can be provided that Would be fantastic!
Thank you for your question and for contacting finder.com.au we are a financial comparison website and general information service we are not mortgage specialists so can only offer general advice.
Basically, mortgage brokers receive a commission or fee from lenders. Their fees would vary depending on the volume of transactions they have. Their commission is not related to when a bank/lender would increase their rates and fees so they can pay the broker. On this page, you can find more information how mortgage brokers are paid.
As for the ANZ Simplicity PLUS Home Loan, it has a fee-free redraw facility, which allows you to withdraw any extra payments you’ve made on your home loan. Please read through our guide on how a redraw facility works on home loans to learn more.
simplicity plus – discounted rate at 4.03% is not introductory rate, is it? just because it says special discount, so i was wondering if it was introductory.
The terms and conditions of the discounted rate of 4.03% did not mention that it is an introductory offer. The rate applies to applications received on or after Friday 22nd July 2016 and this offer may be withdrawn or changed at any time. The applicable interest rate may be amended or varied at any time.
I currently have an ANZ Simplicity Plus home loan. I now notice this does not have an offset account. If I were to change to another home loan at another bank with a better home loan package, what fees or costs would be associated with moving my existing loan to another bank?
This loan has a discharge fee of $160 which would apply if moving your loan from one bank to another. For other fees and charges it’s a good idea to contact ANZ and get a quote of the fees you’ll have to pay when exiting.
I have a simplicity plus home loan and I wish to make large repayments which will pay off mortgage many years early as I turn 65 next Jan. What penalties and costs apply for early discharge if any and how can I avoid them?

Thank you for contacting finder.com.au. a financial comparison website.
ANZ fees for paying off your loan early during the fixed rate period, as this is a variable rate loan there may not be any fees associated with paying the loan off early but I would speak to ANZ directly to discuss your specific needs and how they can assist you with this.
You can compare refinancing home loans in our guide to see what options you may have and you can enquire directly with your preferred lender by selecting the ‘Go to Site’ button.
Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.
Hi i just have a few questions. Im looking to borrow $400,000 from the bank under me and my brother name but the problem is,i have one default on my credit file from 2010 for $230 dollars that i have paid for.so i wanna to know can i get a loan approve by anz or the bank will decline the case
i am a First Home buyer. I am looking to buy a block of land and then construct the house. Which loan will be suitable for me? Can I borrow 90% ? Whats’s the difference between Interest Rate & Comparison rate?
The loan which is suitable for you will depend on your individual circumstances. You may find our guide to construction home loans that are available for those looking to build a home, and these can save you interest charges as they allow you to only withdraw the money your builder requires rather than the whole loan amount.
The interest rate is the amount of interest you will be charged for borrowing funds from a particular lender. The home loan comparison rate is a version of this interest rate which takes into account certain fees charged as part of that specific home loan.
This may be a bit overwhelming, but you can always reach out for professional advice. You can speak to a mortgage broker and find out more about what options are available to you.
This depends on when you opened it. Exit fees are banned for new loans entered into after 1 July 2011, but there are still break costs available for fixed rate loans. A good way of finding out exactly how much you’d pay to leave your home loan is to call your provider up and get a quote.
