Frequently asked questions

You may need to pay break costs if you close a fixed rate mortgage account before the fixed rate term has ended. Paying your loan down completely before the end of the fixed term, switching to a variable rate or making more than the maximum amount in extra weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments are all things that could incur break costs.


Break costs vary depending on the remaining term and balance on your loan. If you want to know what the break costs could be on your current Westpac fixed rate loan, request a call back and one of our home finance managers will give you a break cost figure.

^^Fixed rate home loan: The Bank will apply the fixed rate that is available at the loan settlement date, unless the customer locks a fixed rate in on the loan using our Rate Lock feature. The Fixed Rate - Lock-In fee is 0.10% of the loan amount. At the end of the fixed rate period the interest rate will convert to the applicable variable home loan interest rate unless a new fixed rate term is selected and then the fixed rate is determined two business days prior to the refix. Interest rate(s) displayed is for Australian Residents only. Rate lock is not available for progress draw loans under the construction option.

 

+LVR stands for the loan-to-value ratio. LVR is the amount of your loan compared to the Bank’s valuation of your property offered to secure your loan expressed as a percentage. Home loan rates for new loans are set based on the initial LVR and won’t change during the life of the loan as the LVR changes. 

 

1Break costs on fixed loan prepayments and switching: customers can make total prepayments of up to $30,000 (cumulative) for fixed loans, without costs or fees applying. You may incur a break cost and administration fee if your prepayments exceed this threshold, or if at any time before the end of a fixed rate period you switch to another product, interest rate (fixed or variable) or repayment type.

 

2Rate Lock: We’ll apply the fixed rate available on the loan settlement date or the date your fixed rate term starts, unless you lock a fixed rate on your loan using our Rate Lock feature. The fixed rate lock-in fee is 0.10% of your loan amount. At the end of the fixed rate term, the interest rate will roll onto our standard variable home loan interest rate, unless a new fixed rate term’s selected and then the fixed rate is determined two business days before the end of the fixed term.

 

3Interest Only in Advance: Interest must be paid in advance annually for each chosen fixed rate term to receive this rate. If after the first year of a fixed rate term interest is no longer paid in advance the Interest Only in Advance discount will be removed for subsequent years.

Interest Only in Advance interest rates are available on Fixed Rate Investment Property Loans with fixed rate terms of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years.

Interest Only in Advance interest rates and discounts apply to new Fixed Rate Investment Property Loan and loans which have been switched into Interest Only in Advance products.  Existing fixed loans are not eligible unless the loan is re-fixed.  Interest Only in Advance discounts are subject to change. Subject to Bank's approval. Normal lending criteria apply. Other conditions, fees and charges apply.

 

4Home and Contents Insurance: Premier Advantage Package customers may be eligible for an ongoing premium discount of up to 10% on their Westpac Home and Landlord Insurance policies. If you are also eligible for a combined or other policy discount, Allianz will apply the Package discount to the already discounted premium. This means the effect will be reduced. If you purchase your policy online, the Package discount will be applied after purchase and Allianz will inform you of your revised premium (this may take up to 3 months). Allianz will then provide a refund for premium paid annually or provide a pro rata refund and reduce your remaining monthly instalments. If you take out a Premier Advantage Package after your policy has been issued, then the Package discount will apply from your next renewal. Discounts do not apply to optional covers for Domestic/Landlord workers’ compensation (if available and selected). Any discounts may be subject to rounding and do not apply to taxes or government charges.

Westpac Banking Corporation ABN 33 007 457 141 AFSL 233714 arranges the initial issue of the insurance under a distribution arrangement with Allianz, but does not guarantee the insurance.
