I want to pay off my home loan faster
5 simple strategies to get you there sooner:
- Choose the right rate type for your needs
- Consider principal and interest repayments
- Pay extra payments and more frequently
- You may save on interest if an offset is possible
- Look at setting a shorter home loan term.
Set up offset
You could use your savings to help reduce the interest you'll pay with an offset account. Use offset with an applicable variable loan.
Compare interest rates
Fixed rates tend to be lower than variable ones, but it's more important to choose the right loan for your needs.
