Product overview

An Offset Account is an everyday transaction account linked to your eligible home loan that helps reduce the interest you pay. The money held in the account is taken into consideration when calculating your home loan interest. Instead of being charged interest on your full loan balance, interest is calculated on the loan balance minus the amount available in your Offset Account.
