Pros and cons
Pros
- Extra repayments. Paying more than the minimum pays the loan off sooner and cuts the interest you pay.
- Redraw. You can take back extra repayments later if you need the money.
- No early repayment fee listed. You can pay the loan off early, or refinance, without a penalty. Check the terms to be sure.
Cons
- No offset account. Your savings can't reduce the interest unless you pay them into the loan.
- A $22 late payment fee. Setting up automatic repayments avoids it.
