Things to know about splitting your loan

  • You can’t split a home loan where there are three or more borrowers on the home loan.
  • The loan must be split into variable and fixed rate portions, not into different variable rate portions (e.g. 50% variable and 50% variable).
  • It takes up to 2 business days to be finalised.
  • If you have a joint home loan, the second person on your account will need to review and approve the change.
  • You should understand the differences between fixed and variable interest rates before making the change.
