Green Home Loan - Owner Occupied
We're awarded
What is a Green Home Loan?
We’ve listened to our customers, and we understand it’s important to you to have the option to choose a loan which benefits the environment. Our Green Home Loan is like our regular variable rate home loan, but better for you and the environment.
In simple terms, you'll benefit from a discount on your home loan if the home you purchase was built less than 12 months ago and if it complies to a certain environmental standard based on the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).
NatHERS is a star rating system (out of ten) that rates the energy efficiency of a home, based on its design. Star ratings are based on information about the home’s design, construction materials and the climate where it has been built.
To qualify for the discounted loan, your home must be less than 12 months old and you must get a NatHERS certificate from an accredited assessor, showing a 7.0 star rating or higher.

Reasons to add an offset
Add an offset sub-account with Visa debit card access to your loan to help you to pay it off faster and with less interest.
Whenever you put money into your offset sub-account, that money is 100% "offset" against your home loan, with Visa debit card access. So, if you had a home loan of $350,000 and $10,000 in your offset sub-account, you only pay interest on the $340,000.
You can even maximise the "offset effect" by arranging for your salary to be paid into your offset sub-account. In this way your money is immediately put to work for you, saving interest!
