How does an offset account work?

It's an everyday bank account that links to your home loan. You can link up to 10 offset accounts, with the combined offset account balances counting towards lowering the amount of interest you pay. This works as you only pay interest on your loan balance minus your daily offset balance.

Here’s an example. Let’s say you have a $500,000 home loan. When you add up the balances in your offset accounts you have $50,000 in total. This means you won’t pay interest on the full $500,000. Instead, you only pay interest on $450,000.

All about offset accounts

Video - What are offset accounts?

What’s the difference between offset and my redraw facility?

An offset account is a transaction account that links to your home loan. Redraw on the other hand, gives you the freedom to make extra repayments into your home loan account, which you can withdraw (redraw) later, if you need the cash.

They work in different ways, but both can help you save on interest and pay off your home loan sooner. It’s possible to have a both an offset account and a redraw facility.

Here’s an example. Let’s say you have a $500,000 home loan. When you add up the balances in your offset accounts you have $50,000 in total. This means you won’t pay interest on the full $500,000. Instead, you only pay interest on $450,000. However, you could get the same result by paying the $50,000 into your home loan account for as long as you keep it there. If you have redraw activated on your loan, you can withdraw (or redraw) the money when you need it.

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 multiple loan products, some could be on a variable interest rate and others 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
