The discount off the standard variable rate will apply during the first 12 months of the loan and is applicable on all eligible applications settled on or before 28 September 2012.
Macquarie Adviser Services head of broker sales Doug Lee said the business was committed to ensuring a compelling offering for brokers and their clients.

In addition to its first year discounts, Macquarie is currently offering free upfront valuations through its Online Valuation Ordering platform within Macquarie Access until 31 August 2012.
