Fix or re-fix your home loan

With a fixed home loan, the interest rate stays the same for the fixed period. At People’s Choice you can choose to fix for between 1-5 years. If interest rates increase, you’ll be fortunate enough to keep your current rate within the fixed period. But if interest rates fall, you won't be able to take advantage of the reduced rate. Benefits of fixing your home loan include:
  • The ability to make extra repayments of up to $10,000 a year, so you can pay your loan off faster
  • Guaranteeing your chosen fixed rate for up to 90 days from when you apply to when your loan is funded, with our rate-lock facility
  • The certainty of fixed repayments, which can be helpful for budgeting and peace of mind

Choose a variable home loan

A variable home loan has an interest rate that moves in line with the market. This means your repayment amounts may change over time. Rates may rise or fall, which will cause a change to your repayment amount. The change may or may not be to your advantage – this is the risk you take by choosing a variable home loan. Benefits include:
  • An offset account option - link your loan and transaction account to help reduce interest
  • Access to extra funds if you're ahead on your repayments, via our redraw facility
  • The freedom to make unlimited extra repayments, so you can pay off your home loan faster

Explore your home loan options

Circumstances change and it may be time to review your home loan. To explore a loan better suited to you, speak to one of our specialists to discuss available options. When reviewing your home loan, you may want to:
  • Top-up or increase your home loan
  • Split your home loan
  • Consolidate your debts
