An Interest only term reduces your repayment, so you’ll only be repaying your loan interest for an agreed interest - only period of 1- 5 years.
At the end of the interest only period, your loan will change to a 'principal and interest' loan where you'll start repaying the amount borrowed, as well as interest on that amount, resulting in higher repayments.

Who is best suited to an interest-only loan?
Interest-only loans can be a great option
For investors, or for home buyers who’d prefer to spend money on making improvements to the property rather than paying off the principal at the beginning of the loan. There may also be tax benefits for investors who choose an interest only loan.
Why choose a Interest-Only Home Loan?
Interest only period
Enjoy lower repayments during the interest-only period of your home loan so you can save extra cash or renovate.
Perks for Investors
Reap potential tax benefits by offsetting rental income against your costs, and use the extra cashflow to renovate your property.
We'll switch you
We will notify you of the change, the new repayment amount and automatically transfer your loan to principal and interest.
Unexpected events
Temporarily reducing your home loan repayments could help ease some financial pressure, when life's unexpected events happen.
