About Advantage Package

Key Features

Generally speaking, offset accounts is more common with variable rate home loans than fixed loan options.

Interest only loans have traditionally been tailored to investors so they can reduce their mortgage repayments and maximise their tax benefits and overall return on investment (ROI). However, getting home loan with interest only (IO) has its place and some lenders are willing to consider your application if you can provide valid reasons.

LVR is an acronym for Loan-To-Value Ratio. The LVR is the amount you are borrowing against the property value being used as security, represented as a percentage.

Unlike in the US, there are no lenders in Australia that offer 20 or 30 year fixed rates for standard residential home loans. BankSA Advantage Package offers fixed loan terms between 1 - 5 years.

Fees & Costs

A 100% offset account is an account linked to your home loan where you can park your savings and spare cash to reduce the interest you pay. Then, when interest is calculated on your home loan, the balance in your offset account is deducted from the loan amount owing, and interest is only charged on what remains.
BankSA charge a discharge fee of $350, which covers the cost for removing the mortgage that has been registered on the title of your property.
BankSA may also charge you a fixed-rate break cost if you refinance out of Advantage Package or sell your house before the fixed term ends. It can cost thousands of dollars, and the advantages of breaking the fixed loan won't always outweigh the disadvantages.
Selling the property or refinance during the fixed rate term can trigger hefty fees for breaking a fixed rate contract, and fixed rate loans tend to have restrictions on making extra repayments. Before you lock your rate in, you need to be sure that a fixed rate home loan is suitable for your situation.
