Direct Credit Offset Accounts
Standard & SMSF Offset accounts explained.
Mortgage Offset Accounts
A Direct Credit Home Loans offset account works like a transaction account linked to your home loan.
What is an Offset Facility?
Your offset facility is a limited transactional sub-account
linked to your home loan. Any balance held in this sub-account helps reduce the interest charged on your loan by
offsetting your loan balance for daily interest calculations.
Offset Account Features
- 100% Offset
- Everyday Access Online
- Pay Anyone*
- Redraw to your linked external bank account*
- BPay In to your Offset
- * Daily withdrawl limits apply
- *SMSF Limitations Apply
How does it work?
Funds deposited into this account immediately reduce your outstanding loan balance for interest calculations. For example, if you owe $500,000 and have $50,000 in your offset, you only pay interest on $450,000
Are there limitations on my Offset Account ?
Yes your Offset account does have some limitations compared to a standard bank transactional account.
Transactional Limits –
The Offset account does have limitations on withdrawls.

Professionally I have had numerous dealings with Direct Credit and love how smoothly the transition of the loan process can run.
I have now had the opportunity to utilise the services of Direct Credit on a personal level and I am so appreciative of the patience and diligence given to finding the best option to furnish our home loan no matter how many times I changed the goal posts. Thank you so much in particular to Derek and Tam for my personal transaction but to all the Direct Credit Team on a professional level.

I have been dealing with Direct Credit for the last 5 years this being my 2nd mortgage through them. The staff have always been exemplary in their professionalism but also treat you like they would family which is how I am privileged to feel. I have had the pleasure of having Puawai Herewini as my bank manager along with Katie and Tammy the client services manager and team. This last loan was a separation settlement and I honestly don't know what I would've done without them. With all of the previous stresses of the last couple of years and work changes I left everything thing quite late and the team just batted together and made it happen in such a short time frame, I am so very grateful.
The support often on a daily basis I have received is well above their designated job descriptions as I said feel like part if the Direct Credit family everyone has been absolutely fantastic always going above and beyond helping me through this long drawn out situation. Again I can't thank you all enough!!! Derek you have the dream team working for you, they have yet again smashed it out of the ball park. So very relieved to have settled today and will definitely as I already do be recommending your companies services to everyone. Thank you all so very much again.

Without any doubt these guys are the Home Loan 'A TEAM'. I had a really bad experience with Mortgage Choice which resulted in my finance falling over at the last stage due to the broker I was using.
My brother put me onto Direct Credit and the team of Derek, Puawai, Tammy & Katie, they went above and beyond to secure me finance approval to build my new home.
Thankyou all sooooo much 🙏

We found ourselves in a difficult situation and the team from Direct Credit Home Loans found us an avenue which has allowed us to move forward. Puawai did his absolute best working with us and our accountant; the follow up from Tammy and Katie was awesome. This is our second loan with Direct Credit Home Loans and I'm sure it won't be the last. Thank you so much guys.

These guys are absolutely amazing! I would almost pay higher interest rates to be with these guys, almost! Fortunately, though, they are able to achieve the best outcomes for their clients. They work so hard to do this. I am so impressed!
The personal service not only through the loan process, but with ongoing support, is second to none. Would be very disappointed with anyone else after being so well looked after by these guys 🙂
