Reduce the amount of interest you pay on your home loan
How it works
How an offset facility works
-
An offset facility is used to reduce (or offset) the amount of interest you pay on your home loan.
-
Our Complete home loan offers a choice of full offset16 on either fixed or variable loans.
-
The balance of the transaction account with an offset facility is calculated daily. The home loan interest calculation works as follows:

Full offset
In calculating the interest payable on your loan account, your loan account balance is fully offset by the balance of your linked Everyday Account.
This means that you only pay interest on the difference between your loan balance and your offset account balance (your linked Everyday Account).
Partial offset17
The balance of your linked Everyday Account helps to determine the interest payable on your home loan.
A portion of your home loan account that is equal to the balance of your linked Everyday Account is charged interest at a reduced rate (currently 1.89% p.a.), while the remaining balance of your home loan account is charged at the regular (full) home loan rate.
