 Pay less interest on your mortgage without making extra repayments

mortgage offset

A mortgage offset account is one of the most effective, flexible, and tax-efficient ways Australians can reduce the interest paid on their home loan and yet many borrowers don’t fully understand how to use it.

Here’s how it works:

  • If your mortgage is $400,000 and you have $100,000 in an offset account, you only pay interest on $300,000.
  • No interest income = No tax. Your money works for you silently by reducing mortgage interest.
  • Funds remain fully accessible, unlike direct mortgage repayments.
  • Use it as your main transaction account to maximise daily offset benefit.

Strategy Tip: The more you keep in your offset, and the fewer withdrawals you make, the more interest you save.
