Can I pay extra into my home loan each month?
Yes, if you are on a variable rate you can make unlimited additional repayments. If you are on a fixed rate you can make additional repayments up to $20,000 per annum without a fee. You can make additional repayments online by transferring the funds to your home loan account – just like any other transfer.
Please note:
- Making additional repayments may impact your eligibility for anniversary Qantas Points for your Qantas Money Home Loan. Please review the Qantas Points Eligibility Policy.
- If you are on a fixed rate, redrawing additional repayments may incur a break cost. Please check with your lender if any break cost fees will be applicable before attempting to redraw during a fixed-rate period.
