Interest may be charged if you choose to repay or restructure your fixed term home loan during your fixed rate period. Your prepayment interest is calculated
based on current interest rates, how long the loan has left within the fixed term period and whether the Bank will suffer a loss. The interest rate used for
the calculation is based on the closest current standard fixed rate term and remaining time left on your home loan.

Prepayment interest is not charged if you do not exceed the repayment threshold of $10,000 per calendar year.

For example: Your total loan was $100,000 on a fixed term of two years at 5% p.a. You choose to repay $50,000 on that loan after one year and five months (leaving seven months on your fixed term). Your current rate would be compared to the Bank’s current six month standard interest rate to determine the amount of repayment interest to be charged. If the current standard interest rate for a six month term was 4.5% p.a., the Bank would be making a loss. You would therefore be required to pay the difference (0.5%) on the $50,000. If the current six month interest rate was higher or you repaid $10,000 or less in a calendar year, you would not be required to pay prepayment interest.

The interest revenue loss is the sum of all interest that would have been charged on the loan or that part of the loan which is being prepaid, for the period from the date such amount is prepaid in reduction of the loan until the end of the fixed rate term, calculated at the current interest rate, minus the total resulting from the same calculation with the interest rate being the fixed rate that would apply if an application was made as at the day of such prepayment for the balance of the fixed rate term. If the bank does not offer a loan with a fixed rate term equivalent to the balance of the term of the fixed rate loan that is to be prepaid, then the fixed rate term offered by the bank that is closest to the unexpired portion of the fixed rate term of the fixed rate loan that is to be prepaid, (whether shorter or longer), shall apply.
