By taking advantage of the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme offered by Endeavour Mutual Bank:

  • You won’t need to pay lenders mortgage insurance, saving you up to $30,000* (Savings are estimated based on using an LMI premium calculator for a 95% LVR loan on a property valued at $700,000)
  • You only need as little as 5% deposit
  • You can save thousands in interest by no longer needing to add the cost of mortgage insurance to your loan*

Am I eligible?

The following eligibility criteria apply:

  • A taxable income of up to $125,000 per year for singles or $200,000 combined for couples
  • You must be an owner occupier of the property you are purchasing
  • The property you purchase must be within the Price caps set under the scheme

How do I apply?

The application process is made simple and easy. Loan applications can be submitted on the Endeavour Mutual Bank website and scheme places are strictly limited.

Once received we will assess your loan for suitability and whilst doing so temporarily reserve a scheme place for you for a period of 10 days.

Once we have verified that you meet our lending requirements and the requirements set out by the Scheme, your loan will be approved and we will go about securing you a scheme place for a further 90 days.
