Adjust your home loan repayment
Adjust your home loan repayment
For principal and interest home loans, adjusting your repayments is now much simpler. Instead of printing, signing and forwarding paperwork, you now have the option to use our secure online form.
It's fast and convenient; you just need to:
- Have a direct debit already set up
- Be registered for Online Banking.
Choose from these repayment options
- Pay only the minimum amount required - which could free up extra cash
- Pay more than the minimum - and over time you could pay your loan off sooner
- Change the frequency - you can make monthly, fortnightly or weekly repayments
- Interest Only Repayments- See Choosing the right repayment type.
Use our repayment calculator to see how these changes could affect your repayments.
You can change the repayment amount and frequency in a few simple steps using Online Banking or the Westpac App.
In the Westpac App
- Search Adjust home loan repayment in the Smart Search bar
- Tap the variable loan you want to adjust
- Select the repayment option and frequency
- Tap Continue
In Online Banking
- Select your variable home loan
- Select Service > Adjust home loan repayment
- Select the variable loan you want to adjust
- Select the repayment option and frequency
- Select Continue
Your request will be processed within 2 business days. Once approved, your first repayment is scheduled for the starting date listed on the summary.
Any questions, call us on 132 558.
Repayment changes with an interest only loan
You are unable to change the amount or frequency of your repayments.
However, if you'd like to make separate, additional repayments on an interest only home loan, just sign in to Online Banking and set up a recurring payment.
