You can make additional repayments to your loan, which will then be available for redraw if you need to use the extra money later on. Please note that fixed rate home loans have a $10,000 maximum extra repayment limit per year, without incurring any penalties or break costs.

Interest Only repayments do not reduce the loan principal amount, so if you’re looking to reduce your home loan repayments, get in touch with your Relationship Manager or our Home Loan Specialists to discuss the best option for you.

LVR stands for the initial loan to value ratio at loan approval. LVR is the amount of your loan compared to the banks valuation of your property offered to secure your loan expressed as a percentage. Home loan rates for new loans are set based on the initial LVR and don’t change because of changes to the LVR during the life of the loan.
