Which Banks Waive LMI for Accountants?

Some banks may classify accountants as being low-risk borrowers and therefore waive LMI fees for accountants that are taking out a loan to purchase a home. Yes, that means even if an accountant does not place a deposit of 20% or more they would still be exempt from LMI. 

Not all banks allow waived LMI fees for accountants, so we have created a list below to assist any potential buyers in need!
