Understanding costs of breaking your fixed home loan

A break cost fee covers our loss when you break your fixed rate term by: 

• Making additional payments more than the annual additional payment amount allowed

• Repaying your account balance in full

• Changing to a variable interest rate or a new fixed interest rate

• Changing your repayment type, for example, moving to interest only

• Borrowing more money on an existing home loan

• Discharging your home loan

Fixed rate break costs are determined by multiple factors and as a result they change from day to day. These factors can include:

• The length of time remaining until your fixed rate expires

• The amount you are paying off your fixed amount

• The amount that interest rates have moved since the start of your fixed term.
