So we’ve developed our offset to be available across our entire home loan product portfolio,” said Steve James, CEO of Teachers Mutual Bank. Teachers Mutual Bank’s 100% mortgage offset is available via its transaction (Everyday and Everyday Direct) accounts, together with: All variable rate home loan products, including Solutions Plus and Smart Home Loan packages; First home buyer product – My First Home Loan All fixed rate home loans – 1, 2 and 3 year fixed All interest only home loans (including fixed rate). “Our members now have market-leading flexibility—no matter what type of home loan they have with us, they can offset it with a transaction account.” “As a relatively late entrant to mortgage offset, we researched the market extensively to see what competitive advantage we might be able to offer. We found that offset is available from many financial institutions in some form but rarely, if ever, across a bank’s entire mortgage product range,” said Steve James. “As a mutual bank we want to provide our members with real choice when structuring their personal finances, so having identified this gap in the market, we’re delighted to be able to fill it with this pioneering solution.” The former Teachers Credit Union is celebrating two years as Teachers Mutual Bank this month. “When we launched Teachers Mutual Bank we promised to provide innovative products and exceptional service, and that’s what we continue to do,” added Steve James.
