Which interest rate is right for me?

Your rate is determined by loan purpose, repayment type and interest rate type.

Variable interest rate

A variable rate can increase or decrease over the loan period. Your monthly repayments may vary.

  • No limit on additional repayments
  • Redraw available
  • Reduce the interest you pay with up to 10 offset accounts

Fixed interest rate

The fixed rate remains the same for a set time. Your repayments remain unchanged during the fixed term.

  • Choose between 1-5 year fixed terms
  • Know your repayment amount to easily manage your budget
  • Up to $10,000 additional repayments per year without break costs1

Variable + Fixed

You can split your home loan into fixed and variable portions, to take advantage of both interest rates.

  • Have the certainty of a fixed rate with the flexibility of a variable rate
  • No fee to split into multiple loan accounts
  • Offset accounts can be linked to the variable portion of your loan

Frequently asked questions

We offer two home loan products: the basic home loan facility, and the offset home loan facility. With Macquarie, you can use one or multiple properties as security for your home loan, with a single loan balance limit. We call this a facility structure.

For example, if you have an owner occupied property as well as an investment property, you only need to open one facility, instead of two. This means you’ll avoid paying multiple sets of fees and gives you greater flexibility to tailor your loan set up.

We want to ensure your home loan is set up in a way that works for you and that’s why we’ve designed this step-by-step guide so you can feel confident understanding how Macquarie Home Loans work and what features are right for you.

Fixed rate home loans have an interest rate that is fixed for a set period of time (typically from one to five years). At the end of the fixed rate term, the loan will usually switch to a variable rate.

Variable rate home loans have an interest rate that can move up or down according to market forces, which impacts the amount of interest you pay and may change your contracted monthly repayments.

Macquarie home loans are flexible and allow you to access both a fixed rate and variable rate for your loan. As a borrower, this means you can:

  • have the entirety of your home loan at a variable rate
  • have the entirety of your home loan at a fixed rate
  • split your home loan into fixed and variable portions.

Splitting your loan between variable and fixed interest rates gives you flexibility to structure your loan to suit your circumstances. You can divide your home loan in a variety of ways, such as locking in a fixed interest rate portion and variable interest rate portion, to take advantage of a mix of rate types over the life of your loan.

Please note: You can’t have the entirety of your offset home loan assigned to a fixed rate. You must have at least $20k of your offset home loan assigned to a variable interest rate.

Yes, generally you can make extra repayments on your variable interest rate home loan, without paying any additional fees.

You can do this via our Macquarie Online Banking or Mobile Banking app. Our Macquarie Help Centre has more information on how to make extra repayments on your home loan.

Please note, if you have a Home Loan account with a BSB starting with 183,

  • You'll need to chat with our team via our Online or Mobile Banking app to make additional repayments
  • Making extra repayments is not possible on Construction or SMSF loans.

We offer 1 - 5 year fixed rates on all our home loans. To view our current fixed rates click here.

If you’re a new customer and want to apply for a fixed rate home loan, contact your home loan broker, or call us on 13 62 27, 9am - 5pm (Sydney time) Monday to Friday.

If you’re an existing customer and would like to fix your home loan rate, please contact us via live chat on Macquarie Online Banking or Mobile Banking app, 9am - 5pm (Sydney time) Monday to Friday. Visit Macquarie Help Centre to find out more about switching your home loan account to a fixed rate.

Important notes about fixed rate accounts:

  • You can’t fully fix an offset home loan. For an offset home loan, you must have at least $20,000 of your loan on a variable interest rate
  • An offset transaction account can’t be linked to a fixed loan account. This is because offset benefits are not available while the linked loan account is on a fixed interest rate
  • You can’t fix your interest rate on a construction account
  • Break costs may be payable if you end your fixed term early or you make extra repayments above the thresholds below:
    • If your BSB for your home loan account starts with 182 you can make extra repayments of up to $10,000 each year into each fixed account without incurring break costs
    • If your BSB for your home loan account starts with 183 you can make extra repayments up to 5% of the initial fixed amount each year without incurring break costs
  • You can’t access redraw whilst your account is fixed. Any extra payments you’ve made whilst your interest rate is fixed are only available at the end of your fixed rate period.

After the fixed term on your home loan expires, there are typically three things you could do:

  1. Choose to automatically roll onto a variable rate
  2. Refinance your home loan
  3. Re-fix your home loan 

Learn more about your options here.

Redraw is a product feature which typically allows you to access some or all of the additional repayments that you’ve made on your home loan over and above the minimum required repayments. 

Redraw is a product feature enabled on most home loan products except for:

  • accounts during a fixed rate period. Any extra payments you’ve made whilst your interest rate is fixed is only available at the end of your fixed rate period
  • SMSF home loans.

Your redraw balance may change over time depending on several factors, including:

  • loan limit changes
  • repayment amount changes
  • missed or late repayments and fees.

The below is an example explaining how redraw works where an extra payment has been made and the repayment amount has not changed on the home loan.

Sarah has a $300,000 home loan with a 30-year term. 10 years into her loan she makes an extra payment of $50,000. Her repayment amount does not change and the extra payment she’s made means she is paying less interest on her home loan. This results in Sarah paying off her home loan sooner. Because Sarah has maintained her repayments at the same amount, she can access her redraw balance up until her loan is paid off. If she continues to keep her loan open after it’s paid off, then the available redraw will start reducing to ensure her home loan limit is $0 at the end of her loan term.

For more information on how to check your redraw balance or accessing it on Macquarie Online Banking, visit Macquarie Help Centre.

The Offset Home Loan Facility fee is payable in exchange for the ability to open and link offset accounts. The fee is payable in two equal instalments every 6 months per facility. The first fee is payable 6 months after your settlement date, then the Offset Home Loan Facility fee is payable every 6 months thereafter (unless you switch your loan to a Basic Home Loan).
