What you need to know about Bank Australia home loans
Bank Australia traces its roots to 1957 with the establishment of the CSIRO Co-operative Credit Society. It adopted its current name in 2015, merged with Qudos Bank in July 2025 and acquired Australian Unity's banking operations in November 2025.
Today it positions itself as an ethical, member-owned banking provider that refuses to fund fossil fuels and is a certified B Corporation.
You might find Bank Australia a good fit if you:
Want your money kept away from fossil fuels The bank's responsible banking policy rules out lending to coal, oil and gas, gambling, live-animal exports, intensive animal farming, tobacco and arms.
Plan to build or buy an energy-efficient home The bank's Clean Energy Home Loan offers a reduced rate for five years on eligible new green builds, while applications for the Renovate stream - available for existing dwellings - are paused due to high demand.
Need a fixed rate home loan with an offset account The bank offers offset accounts for both its variable and fixed rate home loans, though imposes a balance cap of $20,000 for fixed borrowers.
Prefer a no-frills, low-cost option Australia Bank's Basic Home Loan doesn't offer an offset and limits additional extras but charges no establishment, annual or monthly fees.
Have only a small deposit As a participating lender in the 5% Deposit Scheme, eligible first home buyers or single parents can turn to the bank to secure a home loan with a deposit of less than 20% without paying for lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).
Want to purchase using the Help to Buy scheme Bank Australia is participating in the federal government’s shared equity program, Help to Buy. Eligible buyers may be able to purchase 60% or 70% of a home with a deposit as small as 2%, with the government contributing (and owning) the remaining share.
Are comfortable banking mostly online or by phone After merging with Qudos Bank, customers have access to 15 shared branches across four states and territories, plus a fee-free major-bank ATM network, and the Bank Australia app and internet banking for day-to-day tasks.
Like member ownership, B Corp credentials, and proactive climate impacts Every customer holds a member share, and the bank's B Corp certification underscores its social-and-environmental mission. Bank Australia also operates its own 2,117-hectare Conservation Reserve, has been powered by 100% renewable electricity since 2019, and is targeting net-zero across its operations and loan book by 2035.

Our service is free for you, thanks to support from our partners through sponsored placements, ads, and referrals. We earn compensation by promoting products, referring you, or when you click on a product link. You might also see ads in emails, sponsored content, or directly on our site.
We strive to cover a broad range of products, providers, and services; however, we do not cover the entire market. Products in our comparison tables are sorted based on various factors, including product features, interest rates, fees, popularity, and commercial arrangements.
Some products will be marked as promoted, featured or sponsored and may appear prominently in the tables regardless of their attributes.
Additionally, certain products may present forms designed to refer you to associated companies (e.g. our mortgage broker partner) who may be able to assist you with products from the brand you selected. We may receive a fee for this referral.
You can customise your search using our sorting and filtering tools to prioritise what matters most to you, although we do not compare all features and some results associated with commercial arrangements may still appear.
For home loans, the base criteria include a $500,000 loan amount over 30 years. These rates are only examples and may not include all fees and charges.
*The Comparison rate is based on a $150,000 loan over 25 years. Warning: this comparison rate is true only for this example and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
Monthly repayment figures are estimates that exclude fees. These estimates are based on the advertised rates for the specified term and loan amount. Actual repayments will depend on your circumstances and interest rate changes.
Monthly repayments, once the base criteria are altered by the user, will be based on the selected products’ advertised rates and determined by the loan amount, repayment type, loan term and LVR as input by the user/you.
