A lower repayment can feel like a win. But it doesn't always mean the loan costs you less.
Extending the term may reduce the monthly repayment while increasing the total interest paid over time. And if you have multiple loans, changing one facility can also affect how the rest of your borrowing is assessed.
Before making a change, look beyond the repayment and review the rate, fees, loan term, offset, and how the debt fits together.
