Plus, we’ve changed our Term Deposits rates

Self employed policy change=less paperwork.

 

For your self-employed customers, all you need to do is to submit 1 year tax return (most recent) for business entities (company, partnership & trust) or 1 year tax returns (most recent) and Notice of Assessment for individuals (sole traders, directors or partners) for self employed customers who have an established ABN for a minimum of 2 years for their home loan application submissions.

 

These changes simplify the borrowing experience for business owners and better reflect the total income of customers to unlock borrowing options.

Unlock more borrowing power

 

We’ve made changes to both our bonus and rental income shading policies to better reflect the total income of customers to unlock borrowing options.

 

Bonus Shading: Bonus income shading policy to be changed to be uncapped at 20% over 1 year.

 

Rental Shading: Changes to the treatment of rental income shading have been introduced across various segments. These modifications impact both existing and new rental properties.

  • 20% shading on all residential investment properties in all zones (inclusive of high-density apartments), regardless of documentary evidence provided (i.e.: Lease Agreement, Rental Statement, or 3rd party estimates).
  • 35% shading on all non-residential, commercial or industrial investment or non-residential owner-occupied properties (3rd party estimates not allowed).
  • 35% shading on Serviced Apartments and Short-Term rentals, and 20% shading where documentary evidence is a 3rd party estimate.

Highlights 

$2,000 rebate for your LMI Customers.

 

Whether your customer is looking for a new owner-occupied purchase or a new investment purchase, if they require Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) and have an LVR greater than 80% then we will provide them with a $2,000 rebate, no matter the LMI cost. This offer is subject to meeting the eligibility criteria.

Fixed Rate Lock

 

At AMP Bank we enable your customers to rate lock, so they can lock in a fixed rate home loan rate for a period of 1, 2, 3 or 5 years. So if you have a new application, an application in the pipeline or an existing AMP Bank customer, you can rate lock.

 

Our fixed rate lock 'start date' is the date the request and the fee or valid payment authorisation details (ie valid credit card number and signed authority) is received by AMP Bank (via email or post), as long as it is current. Find out more on our Broker Hub, terms and conditions apply. Approval is subject to AMP Bank guidelines.

Existing customers? Yes, you can rate lock

  • Switch: A product can be switched from a variable rate loan to a fixed rate loan and vice versa.
  • Re-fix: Switch to another fixed rate whilst on a fixed term. Note fixed break fee may apply if the customer breaks the existing fixed term.
  • Re-fix at expiry: A loan is re-fixed after expiry of a fixed rate term.
  • Split or combine: A variation is requested to split or combine existing home loan(s) between fixed and variable rates.
  • Roll-Over to a variable: On expiry of a fixed rate term, the loan rolls over to a variable rate. This is an automatic switch at the end of a fixed term.

Fixed rate lock process for new customer application? Yes, you can rate lock
