This is an information service. By browsing on the website and/or using our search tools, you are asking RateCity to provide you with information about Home Loans from multiple financial institutions. We will try to show you a range of products in response to your request for information. The search results do not include all providers, for further details refer to our FSCG. We are not a credit provider, and in giving you product information we are not making any suggestion or recommendation to you about a particular credit product. If you decide to apply for a Home Loan, you will deal directly with a financial institution, and not with RateCity.

Offset Accounts

Offset Accounts are a great feature to have when shopping for a home loan. Offset accounts can help reduce your loan size and save you thousands of dollars in interest.

Not only can you benefit from saving money from the loan, but offset accounts can also save you from tax that you would have had to pay on interest you would earn if your extra cash was sitting in a savings account. Offset accounts are linked to your mortgage so all of your income can be deposited into the account and it offsets the balance of the loan.

Be careful when comparing home loan offset accounts as some lenders charge you fees including annually, transaction or monthly service fees.
