In a bid to make homeownership more accessible, NAB has introduced a significant update to its lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) waiver policy. This development aims to extend the benefits of the LMI waiver to a broader range of borrowers, especially focusing on professionals in various industries.

Previously, only medical professionals could avail themselves of the LMI waiver without the standard 20% home loan deposit. Now, NAB has expanded this policy to encompass professionals in the professional services sector, such as solicitors, lawyers, barristers, actuaries, financial analysts, and accountants.

Furthermore, the list of eligible medical professions has been broadened to include a wider range of practitioners like anaesthetists, physiotherapists, pharmacists, and veterinarians. This diversification aims to cater to self-employed individuals, particularly prevalent in these professions, offering them more opportunities to realize their homeownership dreams.

Adam Brown, NAB’s executive overseeing broker distribution, emphasized the institution’s commitment to facilitating home purchases for Australians. He highlighted that these changes align with NAB’s efforts to support self-employed customers and enhance the overall customer experience by introducing multi-offset accounts.

The recent adjustments also allow NAB customers to benefit from up to 10 offset accounts across their mortgages, responding to the increasing popularity of this financial strategy among new homeowners. With approximately 70% of new homeowners opting for offset accounts, the total balance in such accounts has surged by 65% to $48 billion.

Brown underlined that the introduction of multiple offsets caters to customers employing the ‘bucketing’ strategy to manage their savings effectively, providing them with more flexibility and control over their finances. These alterations not only give consumers more choices but also offer brokers additional options to assist their clients effectively in navigating the home loan landscape.

NAB’s proactive approach in expanding its LMI waiver policy underscores its commitment to fostering financial inclusivity and supporting a diverse range of professionals in achieving their homeownership aspirations.
