The NAB team also offer the following considerations for customers looking at how to manage their home
loan repayments:
- Consider an offset – linking an offset account to your variable rate home loan helps you pay off the loan faster.
- Line up your costs – adjusting your repayments can help to manage your budget and align your direct debit on the same day you receive your salary. If you’re ahead and want to decrease your home loan repayments, talk to us so we can help you with that change.
- Build in flexibility – fixing the interest on all or part of your loan can give a period of repayment certainty. If you split your loan between fixed and variable rate you will still have flexible features like offset available.
- Take advantage of offers in the market – for example, you can claim $2,000 cash when you refinance your existing home loan to NAB.
