Split loans

A split loan provides certainty and flexibility. It lets you split your home loan into fixed and variable portions, so you can enjoy the benefits of both.

How split loans work

You choose how much of your loan stays at a fixed rate and how much remains variable.

lock
The fixed portion

protects you from rate rises,
giving you certainty over repayments
(but you won’t benefit if rates fall).

rate
The variable portion 
allows you to take advantage of lower rates if they drop
(but you’ll pay more if they rise).
Plus, you can access an offset account to reduce interest further.

FAQs

A split loan is where you can choose a fixed interest rate for part of your loan amount and a variable interest rate for the rest. The fixed portion helps to protect you from rate rises while the variable portion allows you to pay off some of your loan sooner, and benefit from any falls in interest rates.
