SPLIT HOME LOAN

Split your Westpac home loan balance into separate fixed rate and variable rate accounts to get the best of both worlds.

Why split your home loan into fixed and variable accounts?

Lock in some certainty

Know what your interest rate and repayments will be on your fixed loan for the full 1-5 year fixed term.

Get ahead

Make unlimited additional repayments on your variable rate. And up to $30k on your fixed rate during your fixed term – with no break cost1.

Save on interest with an offset

Keep funds in an offset account to reduce the amount of interest on your variable loan balance.

Use extra funds if you need to

If you’ve made extra repayments, you can redraw extra fixed and variable loan repayments2.

 Split loan tip #1

Unlike some other lenders, with Westpac you can redraw2 your fixed loan extra repayments. So you've got the freedom to shift your ‘available’ funds into whichever fixed or variable account has the higher interest rate at the time... to pay less interest!

  • No redraw fee
  • No min redraw on available funds, and if you stay under your $30k fixed loan prepayment threshold, you avoid the break cost1.

Up to $100k will be available to redraw from your variable loan online or over the phone each day (unlimited in-branch). For fixed loans you can redraw up to your prepayment threshold during your fixed term.
