More details Deposit Bond Arrange a deposit without touching your savings Obtaining a Deposit Bond through RAMS could help you secure your dream home by providing you with an alternative to finding a cash deposit before settlement. A Deposit Bond acts as a guarantee to the vendor, allowing the purchaser to pay the deposit amount (together with the balance of the purchase price) on the day of settlement (rather than funding a deposit up front/on exchange). In addition, a deposit bond could also save you the costs of obtaining bridging finance in order to pay your deposit. More details Lifestyle Option Defer your home loan repayments for up to 6 months Life is full of challenges. Some are welcome and others are more of a surprise. Either way, you may need extra support to get through any such challenging times.RAMS Lifestyle Option allows you to defer repayments on your loan for up to 6 months – twice during the life of the loan. It’s our way of helping out. Conditions and fees apply so talk to a RAMS Home Loan Specialist to see how we can help. More details Hypothetical scenario Nick and Diane were looking at renovating their home but didn’t have the cash to pay for the $70,000 they had in quotes. They had a loan with RAMS for over three years and knew they had equity in their home. Nick and Diane wanted to explore their options so they decided to talk to their RAMS Home Loan Specialist. The RAMS solution Nick and Diane’s RAMS Home Loans Specialist suggested an option they hadn’t considered – a RAMS Line of Credit. A RAMS Line of Credit works similarly to a credit card, in that interest is only charged on money that is drawn. As a RAMS Line of Credit would be secured against their property, Nick and Diane would be charged interest at the relatively low interest rate payable for their home loan on funds accessed from their Line of Credit, instead of higher interest rates that generally apply to credit cards. In addition, Nick and Diane can pay for their renovations, using funds from their Line of Credit, by debit card, BPAY* or internet transfer. *Registered to BPAY Pty Ltd ABN 69 079 137 518 Save or share Print Email Bookmark Share You might also consider...
