The new Smart Start loan works by charging clients borrowing between 80 and 90 per cent LVR a reduced equity fee - rather than mortgage insurance.
Fernando Lemos, National Mortgage Company's head of sales, said the fee would be substantially lower than traditional mortgage insurance premiums, in some cases resulting in savings of more than $2,000.

The Smart Start loan is available to both owner occupiers and investors as of today.
