We will notify you in the final 2 months of your fixed term via your preferred contact method to advise when your fixed loan is due to expire. This email will include information about what product the loan will change to, the new interest rate and the new repayment amount.
This is the perfect time to reassess your needs and financial solution. There are three options of what to do with your loan.
Fix your loan again: Speak to one our home loan specialists to refix your home loan for a further 1-5 years.
Split, Combine or Switch your loan product: Speak to one of our home loan specialists to look at other potential variable home loan products that might better suit your needs (such as a product that has the option of a redraw facility or offset account). You are also able to combine your ending fixed loan with an existing variable loan, or you can split the ending fixed loan into part variable part fixed.
Revert: If you don’t do anything when the term of your fixed rate home loan is up, the interest rate will revert to a ‘standard’ variable rate set by the bank viewable here. This rate may be higher than the rate you’ve been fixed on and could increase your monthly repayments. The interest rate and product your loan will revert to will be noted on the letter that is sent to you.
