Our team may be able to assist you with reducing the interest you pay over the life of the loan.

Since you settled your home loan, your circumstances may have changed so you may want to check that your home loan continues to meet your needs. Options to reduce the amount of home loan interest you are paying may include:

• Changing to principal and interest repayments
• Permanently reducing your home loan limit
• Submit a rate review request online
• See below for 'Smart savers are using offset accounts'.

You may also want to use our Extra Repayment Calculator to work out how much faster you could pay off your loan and how much interest you might save.

You can easily manage your money with our suite of digital banking tools, designed to help you stay on top of finances.
