What is Offset Account?

A transaction account linked to a home loan where the balance reduces the interest charged on the loan. If you have a $500,000 loan and $50,000 in your offset account, you only pay interest on $450,000. Offset accounts are a highly effective way to reduce interest costs while keeping funds accessible.
