Set up or change a Direct Debit

Direct Debits help ensure you never pay fees or charges for missing repayments. Plus, if your variable rate minimum repayment changes, payments update automatically. To set up or change a Direct Debit, please complete the request form at least 10 working days before your next payment is due: Direct debit request PDF (PDF 167KB).

Link offset accounts

You can set up and link multiple offset accounts which gives you the freedom to separate your savings. Simply call 1300 304 660 8am-8pm, Mon-Sat (AEST) or book appointment.

Interest only repayments

Repaying the Principal & Interest? You could free up some short-term cash by switching to up to 5 years on Interest Only repayments (up to 10 years for investors). Bear in mind, this option means paying more interest in the long-term. Call 1300 304 660 8am-8pm, Mon-Sat (AEST) or book appointment.

Applying repayments reduction

If you’ve had your loan more than a year, you may be eligible to reduce your repayments for up to 12 months. Bear in mind, this option means paying more interest in the long-term. Call 1300 304 660 8am-8pm, Mon-Sat (AEST) or book appointment.

Use my redraw facility online

By making extra repayments to your home loan account, whether as regular additional amounts above the minimum, or as lump sum, you'll pay off your loan faster and build up funds that could come in handy in case anything unexpected happens.

With a variable rate home loan, you can make unlimited extra repayments.
With a fixed rate loan, you have a total repayment limit of $30k during your fixed term (there may be break costs¹ if exceeded)
If you’re ahead on repayments and have already registered for redraw², you’ll have ‘Available’ funds in your home loan which you can tap into when you need it.

Set up or change recurring repayments online (non-Direct Debit)

Scheduled repayments can be made as a transfer or a payment, and are a great way to make extra repayments. You can:

Pay only the minimum amount, or
Pay more, so over time, you could pay your loan off sooner
Change the frequency to monthly, fortnightly, or weekly (unavailable on Interest Only)
Suspend or delete it, as long as you don’t miss a minimum repayment.

Here’s how to schedule from a Bank of Melbourne account:

Select payment type (Accounts, Payees, PayID or Billers)
Type the Amount and select the checkbox Set as a scheduled or recurring payment
Select the dates and frequency, and follow the prompts

Bear in mind

Direct Debit is the best way to make variable loan minimum repayments, because the amount will automatically update if your rate changes.

Fix your entire loan online in 3 steps

If you already have a variable rate home loan with us, you can fix it in 3 steps, through our Mobile App or Internet Banking.

Considerations before fixing:

You'll need to think about what you want to do with any offset or any funds ‘available’ for redraw (as funds in your fixed loan can’t be accessed until after your fixed term ends).
You can't set up or link offset accounts to reduce your fixed interest.
You can only make up to $30,000 in extra repayments without incurring a break cost.
Any changes to your fixed rate home loan during the fixed term could mean you'll need to pay a break cost.

There’s no fee to fix, here’s how:

1. App: Select your home loan, scroll down to Home loan settings and select Switch to fixed rate.

Desktop: on your dashboard, open your loan’s drop-down menu.

2. Choose to fix your entire loan.

3. Select the number of years, follow the prompts and submit.

Speak with us to split your loan

There’s no fee to split your variable home loan by fixing a portion. Call via the app, call 1300 304 660 8am-8pm, Mon-Sat (AEST) or Book appointment.

Take my loan with me to my next home

You could use your home loan’s portability feature (AKA ‘substitution of security’) to swap the property securing your loan from one property to another, saving you the hassle and cost of refinancing. Also applies to fixed rate loans, so there are no break costs. You could also consider increasing your loan amount before porting to cover the new property purchase.
