Unlock an Offset Account

An offset account is one of the simplest, most powerful structuring tools available. Money sitting in a linked transaction account is subtracted from the loan balance for interest calculation, so every dollar there quietly cuts interest — while remaining accessible for daily spending.

Things to consider

  • Not all loans include a genuine 100% offset — some products offer a 'partial offset' that behaves differently.
  • An offset only saves interest if there's actually money sitting in it; small balances have minimal impact.
  • Some lenders charge an annual package fee for offset-attached loans — weigh the fee against your typical offset balance.
  • Consider whether the offset should sit against a fixed or variable split of the loan.
