Home Loans


Which loan is right for you?

A FlexiLoan is ideal if:

  • you want the flexibility to vary mortgage payments to manage cashflow.
  • you think you may receive a sum of money in the future that could go towards repaying your mortgage - such as an inheritance or commission payments.
  • you think you may want extra money in the future for a particular project - such as home renovation.
  • you want the ability to pay off your mortgage faster (and therefore minimise the interest you pay).
  • you can make 'extra' contributions to your mortgage from time to time.
  • you want access to a line of credit via your transaction account.

A Variable Rate Loan is ideal if:

  • you want the security of a conventional home loan - with added flexibility.
  • you may want to change your loan structure and repayments in the future*.
  • you want a regular payment plan so you can budget your expenses.
  • you want a table or reducing loan.

* A fee may apply

A Fixed Rate Loan is ideal if:

  • you want the security of regular repayment amount.
  • you want an interest rate that is guaranteed not to change for a specified period.
  • what's more you may increase your principal repayments by up to a further $1,000 per month or $500 per fortnight without penalty.

An Overdraft facility is ideal if:

  • you want short-term access to funds of between $500 and $50,000.
  • you want an 'emergency fund' for unexpected expenses.
  • you can offer security (such as a property for larger overdrafts).

*This rate may differ for existing home loan customers. For more information please call us on 0800 500 400.
