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:

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.
