Changes to your loan repayments

The information on this page does not apply to ANZ Plus products

I have an ANZ fixed rate home loan

1. Move to a Variable rate loan

Once your fixed rate period ends, you will automatically roll onto a variable rate unless you choose otherwise. The benefits of choosing a variable rate include:

  • Redrawdisclaimer – Once you’re on a variable rate, if you make additional repayments, you can access those funds using ANZ Redraw.  
  • ANZ Onedisclaimer offset account  – The money you have in this account could offset the amount you owe on your home loan and you'll only be charged interest on the difference.
  • Pay off your loan faster – No extra fees for making additional repayments whenever you can.

However, it’s worth noting that rates can move up (or down) over the life of your loan. Consider whether you can afford higher loan repayments if interest rates go up.
 

2. Refix

You can apply to refix for 1 to 5, 7 or 10 year terms. Terms and conditions and fees and charges apply. Some benefits of a fixed rate include:

  • Budgeting – Because your interest rate is fixed, you'll know exactly how much your loan repayments will be during the fixed rate period. That means you can budget accordingly.
  • Rate changes – If interest rates rise during your fixed period, your interest rate will not be impacted until your fixed rate period expires.

However, with a fixed rate loan, you need to know that if you repay the loan or switch to another one before the end of your fixed term, or make early or additional repayments, you may have to pay an Early Repayment Cost (PDF) (which may be very large).

Fixed rate period ending
 

Fixed-rate loans allow you to fix a specific interest rate for your loan for a set period of time.

At the end of that period, the fixed rate expires.

ANZ will contact you close to the expiry date to remind you that your fixed rate period is coming to an end, that you are being moved to a variable rate loan, and what your new repayments will be.

It's important to remember when you move to a variable rate, your repayments will cover principal and interest.

If you like the certainty of knowing what your repayments are each month and want to refix your loan, you can apply for a one- to five-, seven- or ten-year fixed term.

So speak to your lender broker or call ANZ.

Refixing your loan rate requires ANZ's agreement and is not guaranteed.

So what about your repayment schedule once your fixed loan expires?

Remember that moving to a variable rate loan, means the interest rate applied to your loan can change from time to time.

Your repayment schedule will be adjusted automatically, so please make sure you have enough funds to cover your new repayments.

If you have set up a direct loan payment, this will be automatically adjusted if it does not meet the minimum repayment amount.

If you have set up your own regular repayments, you will need to adjust these to meet the new repayment amount.
