The fixed rate option from NAB is a great choice if you don’t like any surprises when it comes to your home loan repayments. It is available on loans with a minimum amount of $20,000 (up to a maximum 95% LVR) and allows you to lock in a rate from 1 year up to a period of 5 years. You’ll be charged a monthly service fee but you’ll get plenty of flexibility in terms of loan repayment options including a split loan facility, interest only payment options and the ability to make up to $20,000 in extra repayments during the fixed rate period without incurring any costs. Ensure you only make extra repayments when you can afford it because you won’t have the opportunity to redraw at a later date. For added certainty, you can take advantage of the loan’s rate lock feature which allows you to secure the quoted interest rate at the time of loan approval for up to 3 months (fees apply).

If you prefer a variable home loan, NAB offers a basic, no frills loan or a full featured variable loan with a choice of principal and interest or interest only payment options. NAB’s variable loans are available from $20,000 and allow you to borrow up to 95% of your property’s value. You can choose a repayment frequency (weekly, fortnightly or monthly) to match your pay cycle and make additional repayments whenever you have any spare change. If you need to free up funds in the future, you can use the redraw facility (minimum redraw $500) or opt for a repayment holiday. You will need to pay a monthly service charge with the full featured option but you’ll be able to take advantage of the loan’s offset account to help you save in interest over the term of your loan.

If you’re after even more flexibility in your home loan, take a look at the variable rate alternative of NAB’s Choice Package. Also available for loans above $20,000, it comes with all the benefits and features of the fixed rate option, but with a couple of extras. You’ll also get unlimited extra repayments and the option to use an offset account to help you pay off your home loan faster. You can also choose either an interest only repayment option, or interest and principal repayments. If you’re likely to be redrawing money from your loan that’s fine, but be aware that there is a minimum redraw amount of $500.

Don't inform you when interest rates drop. I haven't heard from them in 5 years to check in or see if I was ok with everything unless I have a question.

They mislead their customer with wrong information through their customer service and traps you into corners which doesnt give you any option. Only the bank benefits. Contacting customer service takes about 1 to 2 hours on hold till you get some to talk too. The worst Bank to deal with.
