If you choose a variable rate home or investment loan, the interest rate can rise or fall depending upon the market and economic conditions. This can potentially impact your repayment amount. On a variable rate, you have the flexibility to make unlimited extra repayments without a fee applying, to pay down your loan sooner.
Choosing a fixed rate home or investment loan means you can lock your interest in at a set rate for one to five years. So if you think interest rates have hit rock bottom or that rates may rise, you can add certainty to your loan by fixing your repayments for a set period.
If you're still not sure about which option is right for you, we're happy to help you make the right decision. Call us on 13 11 82 or visit your nearest branch for more details.

At People First Bank we understand that credit is a very important facility which allows you to achieve your personal, financial or lifestyle goals faster than you could if you had to rely on your savings alone.
As a mutually owned financial institution we embrace our responsibility to understand your personal situation when we make recommendations regarding providing, extending or arranging credit for you. This is to ensure you are reasonably likely to meet the obligations you have in respect of repaying the debt and avoid experiencing financial stress.
But we recognise that situations may change from time to time which may inhibit your ability to meet your credit repayment obligations. We understand the pressures that you and your family may experience during these difficult times and we work with you to find a mutually acceptable solution to aid in your overall debt management strategies and to continue to work with you to achieve your financial goals.
