With big rate discounts on offer, it’s not surprising that package loans make up a large proportion of home loan business written by the banks.
Combining your home loan and other commonly-used financial products into one bundle can potentially have some great benefits, if you can justify the annual fee that is charged for the package. This annual fee typically costs around $300/year to $400/year and replaces the separate account-keeping fees that you might otherwise pay on each product.
