If you have a housing loan, you can activate the offset feature to lower your monthly interest payments. To that end, you must deposit funds into the offset account, and the balance is then offset against the amount of interest due on the loan, with daily interest calculation.

Up to a minimum of 50% of your current housing loan balance, you can use the offset feature to reduce your loan's monthly interest rate.

• Only private individuals can benefit from offset feature, by opening a current account
  
  
• The offset feature is available for both new and existing mortgages.

The Offset feature can be activated online, via the Internet or Mobile Bank, or at a branch. Offset activation and account maintenance are free of charge
