When are fixed rate break costs payable?

Fixed rate break costs may be payable if, for example, during the fixed rate period, your customer:

  • makes extra repayments above the annual additional payment threshold
  • repays their account balance in full
  • changes to a variable interest rate or a new fixed interest rate
  • changes their repayment type (e.g. moves to interest only repayments)
  • changes their loan purpose (e.g. moves from an owner occupied purpose to investment)
  • borrows more money on an existing fixed rate home loan account
  • discharges their home loan.
