FAQs

What’s the process to switch over?

Apply in as little as 15 mins (but take your time). Our loan experts will be in touch.


We'll run the valuation and other bits including ID verification which can take up to a few days.


A transfer request is then sent to your current lender but be warned this is often where delays happen. You may find your current lender’s retention team trying to drag things out for as long as possible. In some cases where the original lender has been reasonable, the transfer process can take around 2- 3 weeks. In some cases, longer.


On average from quote to settlement, it’s taken our existing customers 6 weeks to switch over. It could take shorter or longer depending on your scenario, but we will always keep you in the loop

Am I eligible to refinance to Athena?

The easiest way to find out if you're eligible is to pop in some details here. It'll only take a few minutes.


Or read more about our eligibility criteria.


We believe there's a great loan for every home. If you currently don't meet Athena's criteria, we are confident that our Home Loan Specialists from Athena Select will be able to find you the best deal possible.

Which AcceleRATE tier will I be on?

You can find our which AcceleRATE tier you're on by calculating your LVR. To calculate your LVR divide the loan amount (exclude any redraw or offset balance) by the property value and multiply by 100.


For example: If your loan amount is $450,000 and the value of your property is $700,000 your LVR is 60% ($450,000 / $700,000 X 100 = 60%). You will be on the CelebRATE tier.


Note - Your loan amount does not include funds in your redraw.

I want to refinance multiple properties over to Athena

We love that! Switch and you could save even more by bringing all your properties to Athena.


You’ll get a dedicated Home Loan Expert from start to settlement, red-hot investment rates and we’ll be right alongside you through the process.


Submit your first property application and let us know about your other properties and we'll handle the rest!

Can I refinance with equity release?

Want to borrow more from your property’s equity for things like renos or investments? Sure, if it all fits within the loan size and maximum LVR.


Check out our eligibility criteria.

Can I refinance to consolidate debt?

Yes, combine all your debts into your home loan and you could save yourself a whole lot of interest. Genius.

How do valuations work at Athena?

We run valuations for properties after you submit your application free of charge.

How long does it take to switch over?

You could apply in as little as 15 mins (but take your time). Our decisioning engine is super quick to turn things around and supply conditional approval.

Will I be charge penalty fees by my current lender?

If your loan was settled after 30 June 2011, lenders are not legally allowed to charge an exit fee. That said some lenders still pass on costs (usually called discharge fees) when you jump ship to a better deal. And of course, if you’re on a fixed rate then you will need to check out what the break fee is, remembering it can be chunky depending on the size of your loan and time left.


Check with your current lender what sneaky discharge fees they’ll charge you to leave. You should always make sure your savings are worthwhile against the possible costs. Head over to our calculator to work out your savings.
