What are multiple offset accounts?

Multiple offset accounts are transaction accounts that are linked to your eligible variable rate home loan, which can help you to save interest and potentially cut years off your home loan . The money in these accounts is used to ‘offset’ your loan balance when calculating interest on your home loan. With a standard home loan, you pay interest on the total amount owing. But with offset accounts, interest is charged on the difference between your home loan balance and the total amount in your linked offset accounts, allowing you to pay less interest while keeping your money organised.

How multiple offset accounts work

To understand the impact of a multiple-offset arrangement, let’s explore a few scenarios. Say you’ve taken out a 30-year mortgage for $500,000. Now suppose you pay an average interest rate of 5.0% per annum.

1. Without an offset account

You would pay interest on the balance of the home loan. In this example you’re paying on a $500,000 balance.

2. With a single offset account

If you had an offset account with $50,000 in it, you would pay interest on a balance of $450,000.

3. With multiple offset accounts

If you have multiple offset accounts, the combined balance across all linked transaction accounts is used when calculating interest.

Benefits of a multiple offset arrangement

Reduce interest owed

NAB’s multiple offset arrangement uses the balances in your linked accounts (up to 10 transaction accounts) to offset your loan balance, reducing the interest on your home loan.

Cash access when you need it

It’s easy to access the money in your offset account/s at any time. While withdrawing cash will impact the interest you accrue, it’s comforting to know your money is available when you need it.

Financial flexibility

Set up separate accounts to organise your money for your unique goals – like bills, savings, holidays or everyday spending – while still cutting down your loan interest.
