  • Term Reduction – you could reduce your business loan term by using the notional interest earned on your Business Banking Offset Current Account to lower the interest on your loan  Your monthly payments would stay the same but you will pay your loan off early.
  • Payment Reduction - helps you improve your finances by allowing you to use the notional interest earned on your Business Banking Offset Current Account to reduce your monthly payments. The loan however will need to run for the full term.

Further benefits of Business Banking Offset:

  • Interest is notionally calculated (currently 5.12% AER/5.00% p.a. gross variable) on all credit balances up to an amount of the linked borrowings.
  • You can get the full benefits of offsetting by linking more than one Business Banking Offset Current account to a single loan.
  • Your cash is never tied up because you can draw some or all of the funds from your current account without notice.
  • Loan payment can be secured through fixed rates.

Lending criteria
