Things you should know about offset accounts

  • Offset accounts are available on eligible variable rate home loans and not available during a fixed rate period.
  • You’ll need an eligible transaction account, such as a NAB Classic Banking account, to link as your offset account.
  • Learn how an offset works to make the most out of the account.

Steps to link or change your offset accounts

  1. Log into the NAB app and select your home loan account.

  2. Tap on the Manage button, then tap Manage offset accounts.

  3. Review the offset account benefits and trade-offs, then tap Manage offset account(s).

  4. Select or deselect eligible offset accounts and tap Review changes.

  5. Review the changes and important information, and tap Agree and submit changes.

  6. Your changes will be confirmed.

To view your linked offset accounts and interest saved, scroll down to the Linked offset accounts section in your home loan account screen.

How to open a new account to use as an offset account

If you don’t have a transaction account that you can link to an eligible home loan as an offset account, you’ll need to open one. You can use the NAB app to easily open a new account.

Once your account is setup and ready, you can then link it to your home loan using the previous steps to link offset accounts.

Any person named on an offset account must also be named as a borrower on the eligible home loan.
