What is an Offset account and how does it work?
An Offset account works like an everyday account, but it is linked to your home loan. The money in your Offset reduces the balance used to calculate interest. This means you pay less interest and may help you pay off your home loan sooner.
For example, if you have a $750,000 home loan and $20,000 in your Offset account, interest is only charged on $730,000.
Think of it as a smart and simple way to make your money work harder, just by keeping your everyday funds where they can do the most good.

Important Information
This content is general in nature and does not take your personal objectives, financial situation or needs into account. An offset account is a transaction account linked to an eligible home loan. The balance in the offset reduces the amount of interest charged on your loan. No interest is paid on the offset account itself. Availability, features and fees vary by product. Offset accounts are usually offered with selected home loan products; fixed rate loans do not have offset options. Fees charges, eligibility and lending criteria apply. Interest rates, fees and product details can change at any time. Before making any decision, review the current product information and seek independent advice to ensure it is right for you.
