CB offers home loan eligible customers free internet for three years
It comes as the latest CBA survey showed the vast majority of Australian homeowners were bracing for a rate hike ahead of the Reserve Bank’s decision to raise the cash rate in May. The survey also revealed what Australians with home loans are doing to prepare for rising interest rates, with a third (33 per cent) saying they are looking for cheaper utility providers to manage costs.
Dr. Michael Bauman, executive general manager of home buying, said: “We know that the rising cost of living is being felt by all Australians, particularly those looking to buy a property in the current environment. We want to support pre-approved home loan customers where we can, and that includes longer-term savings on major and ongoing bills and liabilities such as internet.”
Andrew Branson, co-founder of More, said: “Three years of free internet and an extra $2,700 in your back pocket is an incredible proposition for homeowners and property investors as you don’t need to connect to the nbn. the address where the loan is repaid;
“This type of customer benefit has never been seen before and hats off to CBA for trying something new that will make a meaningful difference to their customers who are facing increasing cost of living pressures. This is not a special offer that expires after six months, this is an ongoing benefit for the full three years,” he said.
Another recent CBA survey found that there is inertia around switching ISPs, with many Australians admitting they do little or no research when choosing an ISP. This can mean they miss out on deals and discounts on offer, as well as the chance to save money on everyday bills.
The survey also asked Australians about getting shopping and shopping offers from their bank, and more than half (56 per cent) said they would like their bank to offer more ways to save. In fact, 44 per cent of Australians said they expect their bank to provide offers to help them save money. It’s something that’s also expected of their telecom and internet providers (43 percent respectively) and their energy suppliers (39 percent).
“Research tells us that Australians want value from their lender and in a way that is tailored to their needs. We also hear from our customers that they want to save some money, take advantage of a great offer and make their dollar stretch further, especially for daily and ongoing commitments,” said Dr. Bauman.
