Redraw

Draw on your own surplus or advance funds. Find out how here.

Talk with our loan specialists about borrowing more. People usually do this for things like renovations or large purchases (like a car).

You can do this for free via the app or Internet Banking. Just move funds from your loan to your transaction account.

If you’d prefer us to help with your redraw, just call us. Just keep in mind that we charge $50 per redraw over the phone.

Either way, you’ll have access to the funds immediately.

You can make additional repayments whenever you like by transferring into the loan account through Internet Banking or through the mobile banking app.

If you want to change your repayments to interest only or principal and interest, or the frequency from weekly to monthly, you’ll need to speak with. Make sure you have your customer number handy.

This will give you all the information about the change for you to read over before signing. Once signed and returned the change will be made within 3 business days.

Here we can quote the break costs to you. Once you’ve decided we prepare a simple variation document for you to sign.

We know that life doesn’t always go to plan. If your income gets reduced (for whatever reason), we’re here to help. Talk to us and we’ll see if you can pause your repayments.

To understand what’s changing for you and to work out a plan that could help, we need to speak to you. We’re available on 1300 790 740 Monday to Friday – 8.30am to 5.30pm AEST

It’s easy. Just transfer funds directly to your loan account in the app or via Internet Banking.

If you have a fixed rate loan, you can only make additional payments up to a maximum of $10,000 per year. Any more than that and you’ll need to pay a break fee.

There are no limits for variable rate loans.

Here’s how to do it:

Internet Banking

1. Log in
2. Click ‘Pay & Transfer’
3. Select the account you’d like to transfer from
4. Select the home loan you’re adding funds to
5. Fill in the details
6. Click ‘Confirm’.

Mobile banking app

1. Log in
2. Click ‘Transfer’
3. Select the account you’d like to transfer from
4. Select the home loan you’re adding funds to
5. Fill in the details
6. Click ‘Confirm’.

Your options will depend on the kind of loan you have.

Variable rate
You can pay off a variable rate home loan any time you like, with a small exit fee of $375.

Fixed rate
You can pay extra during the fixed rate period (up to $10,000 per year).

Once your loan reverts to a variable rate there’s no limit, so you can pay it off any time you like, with a small exit fee of $375.

You can still pay down a fixed loan beyond $10,000 a year if you’d like, but you’ll need to break your loan contract (which will mean extra fees).

Thinking about paying off your loan early?
Give us a call and get and we’ll let you know what it might cost.

We’re available on 1300 790 740 Monday to Friday – 8.30am to 5.30pm AEST.

Through Internet Banking or the app (for free)

Just move money from your loan account to your transaction account.

If you’d prefer us to help with your redraw, just call us on 1300 790 740. Keep in mind that we charge $50 per redraw over the phone.

Here’s how to do it free of charge:

Internet Banking

1. Log in
2. Click ‘Pay & Transfer’
3. Select the home loan you’d like to redraw from
4. Select the account you’re adding funds to
5. Fill in the details
6. Click ‘Confirm’.

You can split any home loan (except Kickstarter), anyway you like. Usually customers may split 50% variable and 50% fixed, remember the choice is yours and needs to suit your needs. Keep in mind you can split a loan up to 4 different ways.

Split loans are part fixed and part variable. They’ll give you the best of both worlds and there's no limit to the way you split the loan (50/50 or 20/80 etc).

This service usually costs $249, but if you have a package home loan it won’t cost you a thing. Just give us a call (with your customer number handy) and we’ll get it sorted as soon as possible.

A variable interest rate will rise and fall with the market over time, so your payments may vary from month to month or year to year. While this might make budgeting harder, you’ll have the flexibility to repay your loan faster (or switch to a different one).

A fixed interest rate stays the same for the chosen term (we offer 1, 3, or 5 year fixed rate terms), so you’ll always know exactly how much you’ll pay each month. While this adds extra security, you won’t have the option to switch to a better rate – and you’ll be limited when it comes extra payments, redraws and break fees.

Did you know you can have the best of both by splitting your loans with part fixed and part variable. They’ll give you the best of both and there's no limit to the way you split the loan (50/50 or 20/80 etc).

Whatever loan you decide on, make sure it has the features, flexibility and fees you need.

See all of our home loan rates here

Do your homework
It’s always worth looking beyond a great rate to the whole package. You might need extra flexibility - like the ability to pause your repayments for example - so we’d recommend speaking to us before you make any decisions.

Make sure you have these handy when you apply for a loan:

• PAYG applicants –two recent payslips(not older than 30 days)
• Three months of bank statements
• Evidence of any rental income, current or proposed
• Six months of statements for your current home loan, if applicable
• Three months of statements for any debts you are consolidating i.e. credit card statements
• A copy of your current Rates Notice
• The Application for new purchase or refinances needs to be completed.

Our borrowing power calculator will help you understand how much you’ll be able to borrow. For a rough idea, start by working out your borrowing power and how much (if any) equity you have in an existing property. Remember that you won’t be able to borrow more than 90% of the value of your house, and borrowing more than 80% will lead to extra costs (like Lender’s Mortgage Insurance).

It’s worth having a quick chat with us. We’ll be able to tell you how much you can borrow, help you structure your loan correctly, and make sure you’re getting the best value.

Give us a call on 1300 790 740. We’re Monday to Friday – 8.30am to 5.30pm AEST.
