What is refinancing?
Refinancing your home loan means replacing an existing home loan with a new one.
If you find your current home loan is no longer suitable for you and your lifestyle, whether it's because your fixed loan term is ending or you want to change your interest rate, you can refinance to a home loan more suitable for your situation.
Reasons to refinance your existing home loan:
- To reduce your home loan repayments
- Your fixed term loan is ending
- You're planning to renovate your home
- Your circumstances have changed and your existing loan is not suitable anymore
- To consolidate your debts and manage your finances easier
- To get access to new loan features, such as an offset account
- To use the equity in your home
- To change your loan type to a fixed rate, variable rate or split rate loan
