Awarded Best Featured Home Loan 2007 by Money magazine, Rocket Repay Home Loan includes an offset account, which is free from monthly service fees. This means that you deposit all your salary and savings in the transaction account which is linked to your home loan.
The money is offset against your loan, effectively reducing its balance. Because interest is calculated daily, you save interest every day with every dollar left in your transaction account, and cut years off your loan.
