Lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).

Lenders mortgage insurance (often called ‘LMI’ for short) is insurance that banks take out – at extra cost to the borrower – to protect themselves in case the borrower ends up not being able to pay what they owe.

As a borrower with ME, you’ll need to pay an extra fee to cover lenders mortgage insurance if you’re borrowing more than 80% of the property’s value.

We’ve partnered with Helia to provide our customers with LMI - you can find out more about their product by reading this LMI Fact Sheet.

A refund of LMI may be applied up to:

• 40% within one year of the LMI premium being paid
• up to 20% within two years of the LMI premium being paid

We don't pay an LMI refund if any of these apply:

• the loan is repaid within one year of the maturity date of the mortgage
• Helia receive cancellation notice more than three months after repayment of the insured loan
• the refund amount (net of any rebates paid) is less than $500
• a loss has eventuated
• the loan has been reported to have had recent arrears
