UBank UHomeLoan

Interest rate is terrific. If you just want a loan that you can set & forget, this is perfect BUT if you want a transaction account - STAY AWAY! As an online bank I expected very limited client support but I also expected a solid online platform. Didn't happen. Zero support and a VERY inadequate system through either the site OR the app. Nothing but issues. Very disappointed. When our loan term expires we will go elsewhere.

Steer clear if you are seeking a fast turn around time for Investment Loan.
I was originally advised it will take 7-10 days then when I phoned the Loans Department confirming appointment time to provide them with detailed information, I was informed application period was 6 weeks?

Positives: Very competitive Home loan rate, application process straightforward
Negatives: internet banking access to HL very painful. I can view HL balance via app but anything else it will open up a web browser which requires another login to manage or view details about your loan. Most smaller banks / credit unions have this ability! Ubank is a digital bank but is lacking the digital part! Fix the app and I will give UBank 5 stars

Very bad customer service, dont know what they are doing. Was refinancing with them and told the valuation of my home is good and waiting for my credit check. Waited a month no updates and told they are still working on it. Later they told the valuation is wrong and cant do refinancing. Totally disappointing service and wasted two month. Wouldnt recommend this bank to anyone with my experience.

Ubank home loan specialist made several mistakes with my loan details and communicated by email with many typos and mistakes.
After loan was approved, they directed me to MSA national, who was relatively good and responsive.
However, on Ubank's side, my case was being handled by [Name Removed], who was rude, unresponsive and unclean about many things.
Ubank also does not help First Home buyers with lodging for this grant or even explaining anything about it, which according to my solicitor, is pretty rare and poor customer service

Just Hopeless NAB, dont advertise a product you cannot service or offer! A month and half waiting for formal approval, then after making an offer on a property, im still waiting till today for an answer, thats after cooling period has ended, managed to get this in 5 days through other banks. BTW just ask the other banks to match their interest rates or come close, which they did.

Applied for a home loan. Our "loan specialist" told us from the outset that it will take longer than usual due to increased demand. Was then knocked back as we had too many transactions over $1000. Apparently this flags the system. We were told to review the problem transactions, which turned out to be internal transactions to our savings account!! Further transactions that sparked concern were to a trust account, our rent! Yes we have to live somewhere while we are waiting to buy a home. Our home loan "specialist" was not able to tell the difference between internal transfer, rent and general expenses.

Have 3 years of excellent savings history and a 30% deposit but couldn't secure finance with Ubank. Ridiculous. Would not recommend.

Their product is great, but their loan processes are not. Having provided them with all documents, on day 6 of my 5 day cooling off period there are still questions about my finances that are apparently in the way of me receiving formal approval. I'm not sure what the pre-approval stage is all about? I've been pre-approved for 5 weeks but now there are questions holding up the loan? I would not recommend them for a home loan. They only told me on the last day of my cooling off period that it wouldn't be ready - and told me not to worry - I could just extend it. Which of course only works if the vendor agrees to it!!!!!!!!!! So I had to pay the deposit anyway.

The loan process is very dis-organised. The documents you are asked to upload are not a complete list of what is required. I am applying to refinance (40%) value of property (a no-brainer!). I am being questioned about a $1000 credit card that was closed over 12 months ago and being treated like I am a liar! Probably not worth the hassle to refinance to save a few dollars a month.

Things just go back and forth. Instructions are vague.
Always asking for additional paperwork.
ID check took one week at least.
Then After submitting all the documents they asked, they advise the loan has been sent for assessment and we should get a decision within a week.
Another week later they ask for additional documents and then they will conduct a full credit assessment.
Still waiting for a reply after 4 weeks.

We just tried to re-mortgage two loans and borrow to purchase a third. Our application was blocked due to my husband not having a mobile phone number or separate email address. Speaking only to an agent whom advised that you must have these in order to progress. When did customers have to bend over backwards? Not everyone like technology. Taking our business elsewhere.

I must admit that they offer a great home loan rate . Just be aware that if you ever need to contact them by phone (never lose or forget your pin number for online banking), you will be treated as a second class citizen as they already have your business. This is the third day I have been unable to contact them. For two of those days I have been kept on hold for 45 minutes plus, before hanging up out of frustration.

told me everything was ok, then my wife told them about a credit cad she had, they then phone her to say it was her fault we did not get the loan, she was so upset, Amateurs all off them

They were the cheapest but pretty incompetent. Took ages to get my loan. I was a first homeowner so inexperienced, not sure what they’re excuse was. Really inexperienced and did not understand the concept of how long we had until settlement. In the end we persevered as it would have taken too long to start again elsewhere. Would not recommend unless vanilla loan.
