Good to Know

• When you apply for a fixed rate home or investment loan, Specialised Residential Loan or Business Loan, the interest rate normally applied is the one at settlement, not approval.
• A Rate Lock allows you to hold the approved fixed rate for up to 90 days, even if rates increase before settlement.
• The Rate Lock fee is $500, payable only if your loan proceeds and is charged at settlement.

• Peace of mind - avoid unexpected rate increases during the settlement period.
• Cost certainty - know exactly what your repayments will be from day one.
• Optional and flexible - you can accept or decline the Rate Lock during your application.

If settlement is delayed beyond 90 days, an extension can be requested for up to 180 days (not automatic and subject to approval).
