Offset loans provide a unique way to reduce the interest you pay on your home loan by linking it to an offset account. At Intuitive Finance, we help you understand and maximise the benefits of offset home loans, ensuring you secure the best option for your financial needs.
What are Offset Loans?
An offset loan is a type of home loan that is linked to an offset account. The balance in your offset account is deducted from your
home loan balance when calculating interest, which can significantly reduce the amount of interest you pay over the life of the
loan. For example, if you have a home loan balance of $300,000 and $50,000 in your offset account, you will only be charged
interest on $250,000. This structure provides an effective way to save on interest while maintaining access to your funds.
ADVANTAGES
- Interest Savings: Reduce the amount of interest you pay by offsetting your loan balance with the funds in your offset account.
- Flexible Access: Access your money in the offset account whenever you need it, providing liquidity and flexibility.
- Potential Tax Benefits: Interest savings are not considered income, potentially offering tax advantages.
DISADVANTAGES
- Higher Fees: Offset loans can come with higher fees compared to standard home loans.
- Discipline Required: Requires disciplined saving to maintain a significant balance in the offset account to maximise benefits.
- Limited Availability: May not be available with all types of loans or from all lenders.

Real Feedback from Real Clients
Buying property is one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do, and I was dreading it!
However Natasha, Melissa, Clarise, Andrew and Bonnie were all amazing at helping me through the application for finance. They all provided exceptional care, a wealth of knowledge and always got back to me promptly with answers to all my questions 😄
The whole team had a great ability to put me at ease throughout the whole process! I can’t thank you all enough and I’m so happy in my new home!
I would wholeheartedly recommend the Intuitive finance team 100% as the finance brokers for anyone needing help with financing!
Thanks again so much, you’ve helped me get to the place I wanted to be!
We had a complex situation with multiple properties, and Craig took the time to understand our needs and worked tirelessly to secure the best possible deals. We refinanced three of our properties, and the process was seamless thanks to Craig's guidance.
Their communication was outstanding, keeping us informed every step of the way. What really stood out was their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure our financial goals were met. Their professionalism, knowledge, and passion for their work are a rare find in the finance industry.
We can't recommend Craig and the team at Intuitive Finance highly enough. If you're looking for a finance broker who will truly look after your interests, look no further.
Thanks Michael & Alana
What sets them apart is their exceptional communication, organization, experience, and teamwork. They operate like a well-oiled machine, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Despite being based in Perth, working with Lachlan and Craig in Melbourne was seamless. These two are absolute standouts—always available, quick to return calls, hardworking, and incredibly fast.
I also had the pleasure of working with Melissa and Clarise, who were equally lovely and professional. The entire team made the process stress-free and straightforward, something I’ve rarely encountered in this space.
I’ve already recommended Intuitive Finance to my family and friends because I know they’ll be in safe hands. If you’re looking for a broker that goes above and beyond, look no further. Highly rated and highly recommended!
A special thanks to Lachlan who was simply fantastic to deal with across a two year period and to Craig who made the final processes seamless.
