Repayments

Types of repayments

You can make interest only or principal and interest repayments. You can also choose a combination of both: for example, interest only repayments for a set period, and then principal and interest repayments.

Extra repayments

If you’re on a variable interest rate, you can make additional repayments to pay your loan off quicker. By reducing the balance owed, you’ll pay less interest on your business loan. 

You can make additional one-off lump sum repayments or regularly pay more than your minimum required repayment.

Redraw

If you're on a variable interest rate, you can withdraw any extra repayments you make on your loan any time.

You can easily access your redraw online, through NetBank, the CommBank app or CommBiz.

Frequently asked questions

With a variable rate, your interest rate could change. You could benefit when interest rates are decreased, but you won't be protected if they increase. To pay your loan faster, you can choose to make extra repayments .

You can choose to include a fixed rate term in your loan. During this term, your interest rate will be fixed, which means it won't change. A fixed interest rate can help you plan confidently knowing how much is due over the fixed rate period. With a fixed interest rate, you can't make extra repayments.

Over the course of your loan term, your repayments might need to be adjusted. Find out why repayments change and how to manage them.
