In ten years I have had my home loan with this institution I have always been in advance on my loan and never bothered them with anything. I called once to ask why my interest rates remained higher than anyone I knew and they managed to wrangle their way out of it by using their usual jargon. Months later I received a modest, very modest interest rate drop.
I recently approached the bank for some help, basically they flatly refused to help at all. it was like sort it out yourself. I urge anyone looking to change banking institutions NOT to bother with this one, I honestly in the long run you will regret it. I think it all changed when they became a bank rather than "the greater building society" I will do my utmost to leave this place

Been with the bank 12 years
was way in front on my morgage payments $7,000 left on redraw after some renovations discovered some big problems with the house footings $9800 quote only $2800 short asked for an extension on my house lone $3000
( NO) use your credit card or we will lend you $10000 to $20000 for the job on a personal loan ( not a chance) I will change banks asap

They use to be compassionate now they are less competitive and unhelpful. I'm selling my house as I've moved interstate for a job and am renting here. Asked if I could go on interest only until it sells. They have been nasty and making me feel terrible when I am struggling until I sell my house.

I have been a customer of Greater Bank on and off for a few years. To be honest I love their mobile banking. But their customer service has gone downhill and is terrible. They don't take into consideration your personal circumstances, let alone care. Not to mention a bad attitude, Stay away, trust me.

After 22 years been told not account holder of my mothers deceased estate! Tried to make them understand, I was her carrier for all them years, with no luck of resolution, total no compassion!

Been a customer in one way or another for around 28 years. I feel absolutely deceived by The Greater from misinformation regarding fees at my loan interview to sneaky rate increases without being notified.
On rate increases: Once i was told "It was published in The Australian" Who reads The Australian.
On loan application: Was told at the last minute that if i don't agree to the extra fees i will not get the loan.
Used to be good many years ago. Now no better, maybe worse, than major banks. Do not trust and make sure everything is in writing and still do not trust.

Greater Bank is by far the best bank in Australia ., best customer service, easiest to use apps, fastest to send and recieve funds ! They do not delay payments coming into or leaving your accounts which is very annoying when other banks do.

Switched our home loan over from CBA In late Jan to early Feb 2018. Started out at 3.74% then had an increase to 3.83 around August 2018. Just because they can I guess. And, they again increased it on the 15 May 2022 to 3.93% in anticipation of this rate cut. Now they are advertising that they will cut all loans on the 11th of June 2022 the full .25%. Just like every other bank...

I did a check price against one of the ‘Big 4’ with Greater Bank and I’m glad I did. Excellent fixed term home loan rate 3.74% against 3.89%. Greater Banks LMI was 20% cheaper than the ‘Big 4’ bank (based on < 90% loan) and in my case my former bank was uninterested in matching them.

Service was exceptional from application to unconditional approval and I’m pleased that I’m paying interest to a customer owned and 100% Australian bank.

Would highly recommend anyone giving them a try, you’ll feel better for it!

Not so great and that's an understatement. I couldn't increase the limit on my card and after several attempts got turned down. No matter the amount of money I've got they refused to increase the limit. I'm not sure what was that and every time I've had to supply loads of paperwork for nothing. The staff is great though and were always helpful despite my problems. Waiting times can be tricky so better be prepared to sit it out.

I joined The Greater with my home loan and other banking needs when they were a building society. I recently tried to re-negotiate a better deal with my fixed home loan expiring. Greater Bank had no interest in helping me get a better deal and still had the hide to charge a package fee for no frills products. I ended up getting a far better deal with one of the "big 4 banks". However, The Greater still "lost" the paperwork from my new financial institution which caused delays and still had the hide to charge me their package fee for another year even though I left.

Definitely don't recommend The Greater.

I have had my house loan for about three years with no issue. But even after advertising there not like the big banks they still put interest rates up even though the RBA has them on hold. How do these people sleep at night just screwing over families while they complete a money grab!!! Shame on you Greater I will be changing my home loan ASAP
