Frequently asked questions
Variable rate home loans have an interest rate that can move up or down according to market forces, which impacts the amount of interest you pay.
Macquarie home loans offer the flexibility of allowing you to have some of your home loan at a fixed rate and some of your home loan at a variable rate.
Macquarie home loans offer the flexibility of allowing borrowers to:
• Have all of their home loan at a variable rate
• Have all of their home loan at a fixed rate
• Split their mortgage into fixed and variable portions.
This timing depends on how quickly we can verify your identity, assess your application, and transfer security.
We’ll let you know by email if your application is successful and when your account is open and ready to use.
If you have any questions about the status of your application, talk to your broker or your home loan specialist.
You can open up to 10 offset accounts which can be linked to an offset home loan account. Offset accounts aren't available for any other type of home loan.
To open additional offset accounts:
1. Go to macquarie.com/au/personal/bank-accounts/transaction
2. Submit an online application to open a Macquarie Transaction Account as an existing customer
- If this new account is a joint account with another borrower, please tick Yes for the question Are you applying with someone else? and have them enter their Macquarie ID and Password in Step 4 of the application
- To ensure you link this account to your online profile, please select Yes for the question Do you have any other Macquarie products?

If you have an Offset Home Loan account with a BSB starting with 032
Additional offset accounts aren't available.
Redraw is available on most home loan products except for:
- construction loans with a BSB starting with 032
- accounts during a fixed rate period
- SMSF loans
- Reverse Mortgages
- Accommodation Bond Reverse Mortgages
Any extra money you deposit into your home loan, above your contractual repayment amount, becomes your redraw balance. This will also reduce your loan balance and therefore the interest you pay on your loan.
If you pay your loan off before the scheduled term, you’ll see that:
- your loan balance will appear as $0; and
- if you make principal and interest repayments, your redraw balance will gradually reduce, as payments are taken from your redraw balance to ensure you pay off your loan at the end of the agreed term.
You can view or access your redraw for free by using Macquarie Online Banking or the Macquarie Mobile Banking app.
