🏡 Offset accounts surge as homeowners aim to beat rising rates 🏡 ⁣
⁣
Looking for potential ways to beat higher interest rates?⁣
⁣
You're not alone. One of Australia’s big 4 banks, NAB, says they're seeing the uptake of offset accounts “surge”. ⁣
⁣
Here's how they work.⁣
Instead of being paid interest on the money in the linked offset account, the balance is deducted from your mortgage when loan interest is calculated. ⁣
⁣
And that’s just the first way you can save on interest. 💰⁣
⁣
Because you're paying off more of the principal each month, that allows you to chip away at your home loan balance quicker, which in turn can also help you save on interest over the long run. ⁣
⁣
Call us to see if an offset account could be suited to your needs. 👇⁣

🏡 Offset accounts surge as people manage rising rates 🏡 ⁣
⁣
Instead of being paid interest on money in an offset account, the balance is deducted from your mortgage when interest is calculated each month.⁣
⁣
And because you're then paying more of the principal each month, that reduces your home loan quicker, which also helps you save on interest long term. ⁣
