More Mortgage Offset Account features and benefits
Here's how it works:
firstly, the credit interest that would otherwise be earned on your savings is calculated at the same rate as the interest charged on your home loan;
then this account interest is offset against the monthly interest charged on the balance of your home loan.
Not only will you reduce the unpaid balance of your home loan each month (and therefore the interest payable), you’ll be making the most of the credit funds in your Mortgage Offset Account every single day by effectively earning greater interest rates that are matched to your home loan rate.
You don’t need a minimum balance in your bank account to take advantage of the benefits. Interest applies to the daily closing balance of your home loan offset account – up to the outstanding balance of your home loan.
Offset is available on a variety of our home loan products – for all the conditions talk to your branch manager.
