Not all home loan products offer them – and not all lenders offer loans that can have multiple offset accounts attached to them.
But some do, and they may be a good way to help pay down your mortgage sooner.
In a nutshell, an offset account is a transaction or everyday banking account that is linked to your home loan.
The advantage is that you only pay interest on the difference between the money in your offset accounts and the mortgage total.
