    And my answer would be lasagna, as I like the sauce the missis makes.

    Can't be to hard of a question, you must favour 1 bank more than the other because ?? and there interest rates are always good.

    but it all depends on the situation of the person – resi or commercial, company/trust or individual, low doc or full doc etc.

    I generally like westpac but their rates are high at the moment. ANZ was good for low doc 60% LVR for individuals, NAB good for commercial and CBA good for nothin.

    I think this is heavily dependent on what (if any) other services you do or plan to have with that bank. A couple of bucks extra a month for interest pales into insignificance if you are saving money on credit card annual fees, rates, or monthly account fees. NAb have the best rates and a great package product, ANZ seem good 'all rounders', CBA will lend at very high 'borrowing ratios and are the next best in rates, and westpac……um, ok forget that one. ANZ & NAB (moreso) are terrible with their 'offshoring' both for staff and clients alike. ING & Bankwest might be ok for a 'stand alone' lona with nothing else?   That help Keiko?  Cheers

    I agree with Terry there is no right or wrong answer.

    No 1 lender can suit everyones situation and wouldnt try and pigeon hole them like that.

    There are so many variables it is not funny.

    None. Agreed.

    I take what bank will say yes until i can get up off the ground. I look for the very first instance of someone taking action and being proactive and following through toward either making appointments or any of the communications in between. Till date i have had to build relationships with bankers face to face and through to who finally presses the buttons.

    Everyone's circumstances are different.

    Don't forget Bank of Queensland. They are great, especially for development loans.
