About RAMS

RAMS is different. Since 1995, we’ve been helping Australians realise the ‘great Australian dream’ of home ownership by providing affordable, simple yet flexible home loans.

To make the savings of deposits and the management of your home loan finances even more integrated and cost effective, RAMS also provides: 

• RAMS Saver – an online savings account offering bonus interest rate to help customers save
• RAMS Action – an everyday transaction bank account conveniently managed online via myRAMS; plus, can be linked to an eligible RAMS home loan to take advantage of 100% offset
• Access to a range of related insurance products 

Community based. Community focused

There are over 50 RAMS Home Loan Centres in both metropolitan and regional areas, with more centres opening around Australia regularly.

And for added convenience, if you’re unable to make it to a RAMS Home Loan Centre during normal business hours, an experienced mortgage specialist can visit your home or office.
