- Re-fix your home loan interest rate.
- Split your home loan into fixed and variable portions.

Your options when your fixed rate ends
Option 1: Roll onto our NAB variable rate
When your fixed rate period ends, your home loan will automatically roll onto a variable rate, unless you arrange to re-fix your loan ahead of your fixed rate expiring. We’ll send you written notice before your fixed rate period ends to let you know the details of your home loan.
Remember, your actual variable interest rate will depend on certain factors, such as whether you live in the property or hold it as an investment property.
Once your home loan has rolled onto a variable rate, you could be eligible for an offset facility.
Learn how to manage your offset account
If you’ve made extra repayments during your fixed rate period, you may be able to access available redraw funds once your home loan has rolled onto a variable rate.

Option 2: Enjoy certainty with another fixed rate
You can use the NAB app to select another fixed rate and get peace of mind knowing your minimum repayments won’t change over the fixed period.

Please be aware that if you end your fixed period early you may need to pay economic costs. Other fees and charges may also apply.
Option 3: Split your home loan
Get the best of both worlds with part of your home loan fixed and the other part variable. If you split your home loan you can combine the repayment certainty of a fixed rate and still have flexible features like offset available on your variable rate loan.
Making changes during a fixed rate period
If you choose to make changes to your home loan account during a fixed rate period, you may be required to pay for what is known as ‘economic costs’.
An economic cost may be charged when you repay a fixed rate loan before the end of the fixed rate period. This will occur when the cost of funds at the start of your fixed rate loan exceeds the cost of funds at the time of repayment.

How to check when your fixed rate expires
You can view the expiry date of your fixed rate home loan at any time via the NAB app or on your home loan contract. Otherwise you will be notified approximately one month before your fixed rate period expires.
Your interest rate will most likely change once your fixed rate period expires, so make sure to check your new rate and allow yourself enough time to plan ahead.
