“These changes support the continued delivery of competitive products, service and pricing in a dynamic home loan environment,” the group said.
Where a new product loan is fully repaid within 18 months of the settlement date, the broker will refund to Macquarie the initial fee, the variation fee or the product change initial fee (whichever is applicable) in accordance with the below:
i. Where a new product loan is fully repaid between 0 and 365 days from the settlement date – 100 per cent clawback
ii. Where a new product loan is fully repaid between 366 and 548 days from the settlement date – 50 per cent clawback
Macquarie also announced that a trail fee of 0.15 per cent per annum (plus GST) will be paid on all new products.
