Newcastle Permanent has been recognised for supporting the home ownership dreams of Australians, receiving four prestigious 2021 RateCity Gold Awards for a range of its home lending products.
"Our goal is to help as many people as possible step onto the property ladder and these Awards show that we’re not just committed to supporting customers achieve this goal, but we’re continuously working to provide some of the best value home loan products in Australia,” said James Cudmore, Newcastle Permanent’s Chief Customer and Product Officer.

Data from RateCity’s market-leading Real Time Ratings™ system underpins the awards, grading every home loan with a score out of five, based on factors such as rate, fees, features, and flexibility.
