Green lenders' mortgage insurance

QBE is committed to supporting sustainable futures.

As households increasingly make green choices like rooftop solar, insulation and double glazing, green home loans are becoming more popular. Making properties sustainable is not only good for the environment, but also adds value to homes.

If you finance a home with an approved green home loan through one of our participating partners, you could save on the cost of lenders’ mortgage insurance (LMI).1
