You also have the flexibility to open unlimited loan accounts after settlement with differing repayment types.

Fixed rate home loans have an interest rate that is fixed for a set period of time (typically from one to five years). At the end of the fixed rate term, the loan will usually switch to a variable rate.
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 are flexible and allow you to access both a fixed rate and variable rate for your loan. As a borrower, this means you can:
Splitting your loan between variable and fixed interest rates gives you flexibility to structure your loan to suit your circumstances. You can divide your home loan in a variety of ways, such as locking in a fixed interest rate portion and variable interest rate portion, to take advantage of a mix of rate types over the life of your loan.
Please note: You can’t have the entirety of your offset home loan assigned to a fixed rate. You must have at least $20k of your offset home loan assigned to a variable interest rate.

You can make additional repayments to your variable interest rate home loan without having to pay any additional fees. You can make an additional payment by electronic funds transfer into your home loan account using your account number and the BSB 182-182.

If your additional payment is more than the outstanding balance of your loan account, the payment will reject. If you made the transfer via EFT, the funds will be automatically returned to your account you transferred it from. If you made the transfer via BPAY®, please contact us on 1800 007 722 (+61 2 8245 4383) to provide us with the BSB, Account Name and Account Number that we need to return the funds to.

Redraw is a product feature that allows you to make extra payments to reduce the outstanding balance of your home loan, which in turn reduces the amount of interest you pay. A redraw facility may allow you to access the extra payments you’ve made up to your loan limit at that time.
Redraw is a product feature enabled on most home loan products except for:
Your redraw balance may change over time depending on several factors, including:
The below is an example explaining how redraw works where an extra payment has been made and the repayment amount has not changed on the home loan.
Sarah has a $300,000 home loan with a 30-year term. 10 years into her loan she makes an extra payment of $50,000. Her repayment amount does not change and the extra payment she’s made means she is paying less interest on her home loan. This results in Sarah paying off her home loan sooner. Because Sarah has maintained her repayments at the same amount, she can access her redraw balance up until her loan is paid off. If she continues to keep her loan open after it’s paid off, then available redraw will start reducing to ensure her home loan limit is $0 at the end of her loan term.

The home loan interest rate is the actual rate at which interest is charged on your home loan and doesn’t include fees.
The home loan comparison rate is a rate that helps you work out the true cost of the loan and allows you to compare rates amongst other lenders. It reduces to a single percentage figure the interest rate plus some of the fees and charges relating to a loan. As well as the comparison rate, it’s important to consider the features each loan offers and how valuable these are to you.
We offer 1 - 5 year fixed rates on all our home loans. To view our current fixed rates click here.
