For this reason, you should consider the appropriateness of the information to your own circumstances and, if necessary, seek appropriate professional advice.

Fixed Interest Rates: The Bank will apply the fixed rate that is available at the loan settlement date or the date the fixed rate period commences. At the end of the fixed rate period the interest rate will convert to the applicable variable interest rate.

*Advantage Package: Terms & Conditions (PDF 444KB) apply. A $395 annual package fee applies and is payable from an eligible BankSA transaction account. Before deciding to acquire a BankSA transaction account, read the terms & conditions, and consider if the product is right for you.

**Rate Lock: BankSA will apply the fixed rate available at the loan settlement date or the date the fixed rate term commences, unless you lock a fixed rate in on your loan using our Rate Lock feature. The fixed rate lock-in fee is 0.15% of your loan amount or $500, whichever is higher, capped at $1000 for loans up to $2M. For loans above $2M, the fixed rate lock-in fee is 0.15% of your loan amount. At the end of your fixed rate term, the interest rate will convert to our standard variable interest rate, unless a new fixed rate term’s selected and then the fixed rate is determined on the day the fixed term ends.
