What is a variable rate home loan?
A variable rate home loan means your interest rate may change and either reduce or increase based on market conditions. Getting a variable rate also means you can make extra repayments on top of your scheduled instalments with no penalty. By doing so on a regular basis, you could cut down the length of your mortgage, reducing the overall amount of interest you'll need to pay.
At loans.com.au, we give our customers the option to add an offset sub-account to their variable rate home loans meaning you can save on interest charged on your home loan, and potentially shave years off your home loan.

Why choose a variable rate home loan?
Make extra repayments
If you opt for variable instead of a fixed rate loan, you have the flexibility to make extra repayments and get ahead on your mortgage repayments.
Save on interest with an offset sub-account
You’ll also have the option to add an offset sub-account to your loan. For every dollar that’s in your offset sub-account instead of your home loan account, you won’t be charged interest on that amount, saving you money in the process.
Option to redraw funds
With variable rate home loans, you also have the option to redraw funds at your convenience, with some loans allowing for unlimited redraws.
Option to split with a fixed rate
If you’re not sure whether you want a variable rate home loan or a fixed home loan, why not have both? Get a split home loan, where a portion of your loan will be fixed and a portion will be variable, giving you the best of both worlds.
Borrow up to 90% LVR
Borrowers with a larger deposit will be rewarded with lower rates, but we can help with up to 90% LVR, or a deposit of 10% of the property’s value.
