A 100% offset mortgage loan is very similar to an all-in-one mortgage loan. Rather than putting all your salary and other income into your mortgage loan, it goes into an offset account that is directly linked to your mortgage home loan.
Any balance in the offset account is 100% ‘offset’ against your mortgage home loan. This reduces the amount of interest you have to repay, making your money work harder for you.
