Having an offset account and using it effectively are two different things.
An offset account is a transaction account linked to an eligible home loan, with the balance generally reducing the amount of the loan on which interest is calculated.
For example, if you owe $500,000 and hold $30,000 in a 100% offset account, interest may generally be calculated on $470,000.
However, an offset account isn’t automatically the right choice for every borrower. Interest rates, loan fees, the amount of money you typically keep available and your everyday spending habits can all influence whether the feature provides meaningful value.
The question isn’t simply, “Does this loan include an offset?” It’s whether the overall loan structure works for the way you manage your finances.
