Security advice
Your bank will never contact you unexpectedly and request the following:
• Share your password, PIN, customer number, or one-time password
• Transfer money, withdraw, or deposit cash to a third party
• Click a link to grant access to your computer
• Send a courier or staff to pick up money, cards, or details from you.
Never respond if you're contacted unexpectedly and asked for any of the above. Rather call your bank directly or visit your local branch to confirm if it's a legitimate request.

**Real Deal At the current time, special interest rates are available for new borrowers applying for a Real Deal Home Loan for an owner occupied home with principal and interest repayments with a minimum balance of $150,000. Existing Newcastle Permanent customers are also eligible to receive the special interest rates if:
- They have a Real Deal Home Loan with principal and interest repayments and they increase it by a minimum of $150,000 in new borrowings; or
- They convert an existing Newcastle Permanent loan to a Real Deal Home Loan with principal and interest repayments and they increase it by a minimum of $150,000 in new borrowings.
Converted borrowings do not constitute new borrowings. The discount is the rate that is effective at the time the loan application is received by Newcastle Permanent and is determined by reference to the applicable Loan to Valuation Ratio (LVR). Currently, the LVR requirements are as follows:
- Special 1 – For loans with an LVR of less than or equal to 80%, a discount of 2.11% is deducted from the Real Deal Home Loan interest rate.
- Special 2 – For loans with an LVR of greater than 80%, and less than 95%, a discount of 1.36% is deducted from the Real Deal Home Loan interest rate.
References to "LVR" mean Loan to Value Ratio which is calculated by dividing the loan amount by the value of the property (as determined by us). There may be a difference between the purchase price and the value of the property.
ᴥ Standard interest is earned on your Smart Saver Account each month that it maintains a positive balance. Bonus interest is paid on each portion of your balance within each strata (tier). This means that different rates of interest apply to different parts of your account balance. To qualify for bonus interest, your closing balance must be higher than the opening balance (excluding any interest earned) and you must not have made more than two withdrawals during the calendar month. All account holders must be under 25 years of age as at the first day of that month to be eligible for a Smart Saver Under 25’s.
*The Comparison Rate is calculated on a loan amount of $150,000 for a term of 25 years based on monthly repayments. WARNING: This comparison rate is true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
