How an offset account works
An offset account is a transaction account linked to your home loan. Every dollar in the account is offset against your home loan balance, which reduces the amount of interest you pay each month.
For example, if you have $30,000 in your offset account, and a loan balance of $400,000, you’ll only be charged interest on $370,000. Every dollar you save on interest adds up over time, helping you to save thousands over the life of your loan.
Plus, if you have your salary paid into your offset account, every dollar you earn will work in your favour until it’s spent.

Got a question about home loans?
Your fixed rate home loan will automatically 'roll-over' to a standard variable rate home loan upon maturity. We'll notify you of this in advance.
If you wish to explore other home loan products or your options at the of your fixed rate loan, please call us on 1300 228 228 to speak with one of our home loan specialists.
With a home loan offset account every dollar in your account is offset against your variable rate home loan balance.
For example if you have $1,000 dollars in your offset account, this will reduce the balance that your interest is calculated on by $1,000 dollars. That’s $1,000 dollars you’re not paying interest on, so more of each repayment goes to paying off your loan rather than paying interest.
An offset account is not available on all home loans. Please check the loan product features or your loan contract to see if you are eligible for redraw.
A redraw facility allows you to access the additional payments that you have made on your loan, less the next repayment due.
Not all loans offer the option to redraw your extra payments, so you should consider this when choosing your loan type.
You may have authorised loan redraw access when you signed your loan contract. If not, you'll need to complete the Redraw Authority Nomination form.
You can return the completed form in branch or via Secure Mail in internet banking.
You can have up to three Mortgage Offset Saver accounts (whether in single or joint names) in total linked to an eligible home loan.
These accounts must be in the name of one or more (or all) of the home loan borrowers.

*Comparison rate calculated on a loan amount of $150,000 over a term of 25 years based on monthly repayments. For variable Interest Only loans, comparison rates are based on an initial 3 year Interest Only period. For fixed Interest Only loans, comparison rates are based on an initial Interest Only period equal in length to the fixed period. During an Interest Only period, your Interest Only payments will not reduce your loan balance. This may mean you pay more interest over the life of the loan.
WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan.
^If you are borrowing more than 80% of the property’s value (Loan to Value Ratio), Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) may be required. Borrowing up to 95% includes LMI costs.
