Report Highlights
Mortgage packages have gone from being niche products only offered to the top
end of the market, to being mainstream products available to most mortgagors.
The current proportion of new lending commitments that are attributable to
packages are around 50%.
From the financial institution' s point of view, mortgage packages offer a
number of advantages. Mortgage packages can be used to attract new customers,
to increase loyalty of current customers, and to increase share of wallet.
Different components of the mortgage package play different parts for these
strategies.
Some observers believe that packages will develop into customizable products
suitable for a wide range of niches. For example, a provider might offer a
first home buyer' s package or a package suitable for elderly customers.
However, for this to occur, banks need to collate substantial data about
suitable pricing of different package structures.
