How can I view my customer’s current repayment amount and frequency?

You can view your customer’s current repayment amount, repayment type and frequency through the Macquarie Broker Portal.

  1. Log into Broker Portal
  2. Select Existing loans from the side navigation panel
  3. Search for your customer’s home loan by their name or account number
  4. A preview panel will appear, select View Facility.

On the Home Loan Facility page, you’ll see the repayment amount plus information such as loan structure, interest rate, limit, remaining loan term, repayment type and much more.

When is my customer’s repayment due and what is the frequency?

The repayment due date for all home loan accounts* is based on the anniversary date of the home loan facility’s settlement.

For example, if settlement was on 15 May, the repayment date on subsequent monthly repayments will be the 15th of every month, even if it falls on a weekend or public holiday.

Also note, if your customer settled on the last day of the month (e.g. 31st) and subsequent months don’t have a 31st, their repayment will fall on the preceding day (e.g. 30th).

*Repayment information refers to home loans with a BSB starting with 182. See our Personal Help Centre for more information related to home loan with a BSB starting with 183.

How can my customer change to fortnightly or weekly repayments?

Direct debits are automatically taken on your customer’s due date each month and this frequency can’t change.

There are ways your customer can manage their repayments using other repayment methods so they can tailor their repayments to a frequency that meets their needs.

View our Personal Help Centre on how to use the offset accounts to benefit from fortnightly or weekly repayments.

Can my customer change repayment types?

Your customer can change the repayment type (e.g. interest only) during an application as a new customer and post-settlement as an existing customer.

For new customers, the requirements for changing repayment type will depend on the status of your customer’s application:

For existing home loans, your customer can apply to change their repayment type on variable interest rate home loan accounts. For accounts on a fixed interest rate, changing the repayment type may result in a break cost. Changes may include:

Switching principal and interest to interest only repayments

  • A loan that was originally established with principal and interest repayments may be converted to interest only repayments for a maximum of 5 years, subject to a credit assessment and approval. The loan must have at least 20 years remaining at the end of the interest only period.
  • You can start this application on behalf of your customer with our Variations team.

Switching interest only to principal and interest repayments

  • A variable loan can be converted from interest only to principal and interest repayments at any time (including construction loans). No credit assessment or approval is required. 
  • Your customer will need to get in touch with our team using live chat to request this change. To support them through this process, visit our Personal Help Centre for more information.

How can my customer reduce their home loan repayments?

There are options your customer may consider to reduce their home loan repayments. Our Personal Help Centre has information you can share with them on how they may achieve this.

You can also request a variable rate review in Broker Portal on behalf of your customer, which may reduce their interest rate and repayments.
