Offset Account.

An offset account can reduce your interest to help you pay off your home loan sooner.

Your secret weapon for saving on interest.

An offset account is an everyday transaction or savings account that’s linked to your variable home loan. The more money you have in your account, the less interest you’ll pay on your monthly home loan repayment.

How do offset accounts work?

Offset accounts work like typical transaction or savings accounts. You can move money around, pay for items or services via a debit card, and make deposits.

The real benefit comes when the monthly interest on your loan is calculated^. Instead of charging you interest on the full loan amount you owe, we’ll first subtract the balance in your offset account. Put simply: the more you have in your offset account, the more you save on interest.

For example, let’s say that you have a home loan of $300,000. If you have $20,000 deposited in your offset account, the bank will only charge you interest on a loan balance of $280,000.

Here are our top tips to maximise the benefits of an offset account.

  1. Pay your salary directly into your account
    Update your payment details with your employer for an easy win.

  2. Avoid withdrawing your money if you can
    The more money you have in your offset account and the longer you keep it there, the more you save on interest.

  3. Pay extra sums into your offset
    Got a bonus at work or made a little on the side? Even a few hundred dollars can make a big difference in the long run.
