What’s better, a fixed or variable rate home loan?

The best rate will depend on your circumstances and what you want out of your loan. A fixed loan’s designed to give people more certainty, while a variable loan’s designed to give more flexibility.

If you need help deciding which loan might work best for you, simply start by applying. In the next step in the application process, you’ll talk with one of our home lenders. Or we can help you choose right now.

What is a split home loan?

A split home loan is when you separate your home loan balance into two different accounts. One will have a variable interest rate and the other a fixed interest rate.

Splitting your home loan balance with a fixed and variable interest rate allows you to get the best of both worlds. With the fixed portion of your home loan, you can lock in your interest rate. This means you can be certain that your repayment amounts won’t change for the duration of the fixed rate term.

The variable rate portion of your loan lets you take advantage of any interest rate decreases. It also lets you get ahead with no limit on the number of extra repayments you can make. Learn how it works.
