Ratings
Introductory period
Orange Credit Union Introductory Home Loan is a 2 year introductory rate loan. An introductory rate is a special interest rate discount offered for the first year of your home loan, allowing you to get a headstart on your repayments.
Tips: Many lenders give you a cheaper rate in the first year as a carrot, then revert your rate to the Bank Standard Variable Rate and then refuse to give you a discount. This is the major problem with introductory rates, don't get caught out, ask your lender about discounts after the introductory rate has expired!
