Mortgage Offset

One of the benefits of choosing our Reward Me Variable Rate Home Loan is that you can make every dollar count by offsetting funds against interest costs on your home loan. Every dollar that you keep in your Home Loan Companion Account reduces the amount of interest you'll have to pay on your linked home loan and will help you pay it off sooner. Now, that makes sense!

Here's how it works

  • The daily interest on any positive balance in your Home Loan Companion Account will be calculated using the annual percentage rate applying to your loan that is linked to the Companion Account
  • The daily interest earned on any positive balance in your Home Loan Companion Account will then be offset against the daily interest charges on your loan that is linked to the Companion Account

The benefit:

  • You will reduce the amount of interest you pay on your home loan and may also pay your loan off sooner.

You don't need a minimum balance in your account however the more you have in your account the greater the amount that will be offset against your linked home loan.

If you are in a fixed rate period, you won't be able to offset until the end of that fixed rate period when your loan reverts to a variable rate. However, you can still use our Home Loan Companion Account to make your home loan repayments and we will use the account to debit any fees and charges that apply across your loans.

Fees and Charges

There are no ongoing fees and charges as long as you maintain a positive balance on your Home Loan Companion Account. You can find all the fees that could be charged on the Home Loan Companion Account with the terms and conditions

Interest Rates

Interest is not charged on our Home Loan Companion Account. If using the account for interest offset, we will calculate interest on the balance in your offset account at same interest rate as your linked Reward Me Home Loan and then offset this amount against the interest we charge on that home loan.

If your Home Loan Companion Account is overdrawn, an interest rate of 17.70% pa applies on the amount overdrawn. We will calculate interest daily and charge monthly on unauthorised drawings to the Home Loan Companion Account.
