ANZ Internet Banking provides fast and convenient access to help you stay on top of your home loan on-the-go.

Let’s look at how you can manage your home loan easily online.

If you haven’t already registered, you can do so at anz.com/register otherwise, log into ANZ Internet Banking and you will see all of your accounts on the dashboard.

To see specific details, click on the relevant ‘Home Loan’ account.

This will take you to your ‘Account Overview’ page, showing ‘Your home loan at a glance’.

On this page you can find information like your ‘Current balance’, your ‘Current interest rate’, your current ‘Minimum repayment amount’ and your available ‘redraw’ amount.

Scrolling down to ‘Account details’, you will see more information about your loan including the ‘loan term’ and the type of loan you have such as fixed or variable rate.

If you want to view and print your statements, go to the ‘Account actions’ field, click on ‘View statements’, select the period, download and then you can print.

Returning to ‘Account actions’, you can view your interest and charges summary.

And you can also do things like rename your accounts so you can easily identify them.

If you want to check out the interest you’ve paid over the last two years, you can click on the ‘Interest and charges’ tab.

So as you can see, all this information is easily accessible through ANZ Internet Banking but if you do need any help, please contact us ANZ.

Handy tips to help pay off your home sooner

Make extra payments

If you're not in a fixed rate term, you could add extra to each loan payment, or deposit large amounts (such as tax returns, dividends or bonuses). By doing so, you could save on interest and pay off your loan soonerdisclaimer.

Consider setting up more frequent repayments

You may like to think about changing the frequency of your repayments. For example, if you make fortnightly repayments instead of monthly repayments, you'll be reducing your total interest charges.

Save on interest payable with an offset account

If you have an eligible loan (such as an ANZ Standard Variable loan or a one-year ANZ Fixed loan), you can link an ANZ One offset accountdisclaimer to it. The more money you have in your linked offset account, the less interest you'll need to pay on your home loan.

Repay principal and interest

If you're looking to pay off the total amount of your home loan rather than just the interest, then switching from interest-only to principal and interest is something you could consider.

Ways to pay off your loan fasterClick to play video

If you’re looking to repay you home loan faster, switching to Principal and Interest can be a great option because with each repayment, you will be paying off both interest and some of the principal.

And if you’re already making principal and interest repayments, switching to weekly repayments could help you save interest in the long run, as you’re reducing the principal balance more frequently.

By making extra repayments, you could save on interest.  You can do this by increasing your loan repayments or depositing larger amounts like tax returns or bonuses.  But please be aware that if you make extra payments while in a fixed rate period, you may incur significant early repayment costs.

If you have an eligible loan, you can link an ANZ One offset account to it.  The money you have in your offset account can be used to offset the amount you owe on your home loan, and you only pay interest on the difference.

So, in general, the more money you have in your linked offset account, the less interest you’ll pay on your home loan, and It’s worth having a think about depositing your salary into your offset account to make your money work for you even more!
