What this means for you

The rate increase will be effective from 17 November 2023. You'll see your new interest rate in ANZ Internet Banking and the ANZ App from this date. For guidance on viewing your home loan account details in ANZ Internet Banking and ANZ App visit ANZ self service How to Guide (PDF).

How this impacts your variable home loan repayments

When there's an increase in the index interest rate applicable to your variable loan, your minimum repayment amount will generally increase. When there’s a decrease in the index rate applicable to your variable loan, your minimum repayment amount will generally decrease. We’ll let you know if there’s a change to your minimum loan repayments.

You may find a digital copy of this change notice within:

  • ANZ Internet Banking (select your Home loan account > Account actions > View statements > Notices tab) or the
  • ANZ App (select “Accounts” > tap your Home loan > tap the ‘Notices’ tab).

What you need to do

  • If you're making interest only repayments, the interest amount charged each month will automatically reflect the new interest rate applied to your loan. You won't need to do anything.
  • If you're making principal and interest repayments, you may need to adjust your existing direct loan payment amount.

Direct Loan Payment type

A direct loan payment is a recurring loan payment you have elected to make from an eligible ANZ or ANZ Plus account to your ANZ loan.

Bank Managed Payments

If your new minimum loan repayment amount increases and is more than your current direct loan payment amount:

  • ANZ will automatically increase your direct loan payment amount to meet the new minimum repayment amount on your loan. There is nothing you need to do.

If your new minimum loan repayment amount decreases and is less than your current direct loan payment amount:

  • ANZ may not automatically reduce your direct loan payment amount to the new minimum repayment amount on your loan.
  • You may be repaying more than the new minimum repayment amount on your loan. If you’re happy with this, there is nothing you need to do.
  • If you would like to reduce your direct loan payment amount (from your eligible ANZ or ANZ Plus account), you can request do so via ANZ Internet Banking 6 days prior to your new minimum loan repayment amount taking effect (refer to your notice of change to repayments for the effective date of your new minimum repayment amount).
  • If you are not already set up, register for ANZ Internet Banking.

Customer Managed Payments

If your new minimum loan repayment amount increases:

  • You are responsible for adjusting your direct loan payment amount manually and making sure you meet the minimum repayment amount on your loan.
  • You can request to amend your existing direct loan payment amount (from your eligible ANZ or ANZ Plus account), via ANZ Internet Banking. Read how to modify a direct loan payment. If you are not already set up, register for ANZ Internet Banking.

Please note: Reducing your loan repayments may result in your loan being repaid at a slower rate which may increase the amount of interest you pay over the term of the loan.

Your home loan options

We have tools and options to help you stay on top of changing home loan repayments.

Switch to a lower rate home loan

Consider switching to our competitive basic variable interest rate. ANZ Simplicity PLUS is our basic home loan (no offset) that still gives you the flexibility of a variable rate loan, like the ability to pay it off sooner.

Change how you make repayments

Small changes to how you make repayments can make a big difference to the interest you pay on your loan. Depending on your circumstances, switching from monthly to fortnightly or weekly repayments could help reduce your total interest charges. You can request to modify the frequency of repayments via ANZ Internet Banking.

Fix or split your loan

If you’d like some more certainty about your repayment amounts, consider fixing your loan or splitting it into part variable, part fixed rate to hedge your bets. Learn more about splitting your loan.

Reduce your repayments to the minimum amount

If you’re currently paying more than the minimum repayment amount, you have the option to reduce your repayments to the minimum repayment amount via ANZ Internet Banking.

Reducing your loan repayments may result in your loan being repaid at a slower rate which may increase the amount of interest you pay over the term of the loan.

Offset your interest

If you have an eligible loan such as an ANZ Standard Variable loan or a one year ANZ Fixed loan, consider linking an ANZ One offset account to it (for a fee of $10 a month).disclaimer The more money you have in your linked offset account, the less interest you'll need to pay on your home loan. To maximise your savings even more, deposit your salary straight into your offset account.

Redraw if you're ahead

If you're ahead on your home loan repayments and you have an eligible loan, you may be able to access funds from the extra repayments made, or take a break from future scheduled repayments with ANZ Redraw.disclaimer

Extend your loan term

Extending your loan term could lower your repayments, which could help take the pressure off when rates rise and repayments increase. Talk to us to find out if this is an option for you. Note that extending your loan term may mean you’ll end up paying more in interest over the life of your home loan.

Switch to interest only repayments for a while

You may wish to consider applying to switch from principal and interest repayments to interest only repayments for a period of time, if it is suitable for you to do so. Keep in mind that making this change might increase the total interest you pay over the life of your loan.

Top up if you need to

You may be able to top up your existing variable rate loan, subject to credit approval. So, if you're looking to renovate, consolidate debts or buy a new car, you may be able to borrow additional funds against your existing home loan.

Refinance and consolidate debts

Consider how much equity you have in your property. If you have enough equity you may be able to consolidate any other debts you may have. Get an estimate of the equity you may have in your home, or book in a free home loan check-in.

Your questions answered

If you have an existing variable home loan with ANZ and there are changes to your minimum loan repayments, we’ll notify you in writing in the way you’ve chosen to hear from us. This notice will outline:

  • the new minimum repayment amount
  • from when it will take effect
  • any action you are required to take

A digital copy may be available in ANZ Internet Banking and in the ANZ App.

Bank Managed versus Customer Managed payment type indicates whether the direct loan payment is managed by ANZ or by you.

If the field displays "Bank Managed Payment (direct loan payment)" this means that you have chosen this payment method as your only directly credited method of payment for this loan. Bank Managed Payments are managed by ANZ so they will be automatically increased, where necessary,if your minimum repayment amount is increased (e.g. due to an increase in interest rates).

ANZ may not automatically reduce your direct loan payment amount when your minimum repayment amount decreases. To decrease your direct loan payments after a rate reduction, you may be able to self-service via ANZ Internet Banking

If this field displays "Customer Managed Payment", then the payment is not managed by ANZ and you will need to manually adjust your direct loan payments via Internet Banking to ensure you meet your minimum repayment requirements. See instructions on Modify a direct loan payment.
