Which one are you?
The same rates, read for the four reasons people look them up.
Your Bankwest fixed term is ending
When it ends the loan rolls onto a variable rate unless you re-fix. Bankwest’s rate for a new 2-year fix is 6.79%, and Newcastle Permanent is at 6.49%. Ask Bankwest what it will re-fix you at and compare it with that. There’s no break cost once the term has ended.
You’re buying an investment property
Bankwest’s 2-year investor rate is 6.99% with a 20% deposit, principal and interest; 18 of 22 lenders are cheaper. Interest-only rates aren’t on this page. Every investor rate.
Your deposit is under 20%
With a 10% deposit the 2-year is 7.19%, and 15 of 19 lenders are cheaper. Lenders mortgage insurance, a one-off cost that protects the lender, usually applies below 20%, though some lenders waive it for doctors, lawyers and other professions.
You’re buying and settling soon

What the rate costs, and what the lock costs
On a $600,000 loan over 30 years, Bankwest’s 2-year rate is $3,908 a month, against $3,788 at the cheapest lender: a gap of $120 a month, or about $2,880 over the 2-year fix. What that comes to at your balance is on the repayments pages, and how Bankwest’s variable rates compare is on the rate monitor.
The rate above is the rate on the day the loan settles unless you lock it. Bankwest’s rate lock is not published; the fee is in your loan offer. Against it, a quarter-point rise before settlement costs about $3,000 over a 2-year term. Detail and the lender’s own wording on the rate lock page, which lists every lender.
Leaving before the term ends means a break cost. How Bankwest quotes it, and the discharge form when you go, is on the Bankwest discharge page.
