Loan top-ups
You can apply to borrow more money on the same terms if you have an ANZ Home Loan - Floating Rate or a Flexible Home Loan (a fee may apply). If you have an ANZ Home Loan - Fixed Rate, you can apply for a separate loan at the interest rate applying at the time you start using your "top-up".
Interest only
With an interest-only home loan, you start out by paying only the interest due on the amount you've borrowed. Because you're not repaying any of the principal, your repayments aren't as high as with other loan types.
You can choose either a fixed or floating interest-only loan for a term of up to 10 years. After that, you have to either pay off your original loan amount (the principal) or change to a table loan or a reducing loan.
Interest-only loans are useful if:
- you need a loan now, but don't want to make full repayments straight away – for example as "bridging finance" when you need money for a new home before you've sold your old one
- you know you'll have enough money to pay off your original loan before the end of your interest-only term – for example, if you have a large investment due to mature in three years' time.
Remember, at the end of the interest-only term, you'll still owe your entire original loan amount.
