Benefits.

Pay off lump sums or increase your repayments when you like without prepayment costs¹.
Your interest rate will go up or down with the market.
Your accounts stay separate so you can manage your money as you like.

How it works.

The money in your eligible savings and everyday accounts all work to help you pay off your Choices Floating Home Loan faster. You only pay interest on the difference between what's in those accounts and the balance of your floating home loan (this means you won't receive interest on the linked savings accounts).

Offsetting in action

Here's an example to show how easy and effective offsetting can be:

Current floating home loan balance:	$300,000
LESS current savings/transaction balance:	$25,000
Pay interest on:	$275,000

With a Choices Floating with Offset interest rate of 4.59% p.a. and a term of 30 years, you could save more than $78,000 in interest and pay off your home loan 3 years 9 months sooner.

Every bit helps. Even if you start saving a few hundred dollars a month, it makes a big difference to how quickly you pay off your home loan.
