More about
A split facility offers a combination of loan types and/or interest rate options. For example, many people choose to split their overall home loan between an Orbit loan and a fixed rate loan.
- An Orbit home loan gives you easy access to additional money at your convenience and flexibility to make lump-sum payments without being charged a penalty fee. You can also direct all your income into the account which keeps your balance as low as possible to reduce the interest you pay.
- The fixed rate loan on the other hand, offers the security of set repayments.
- You establish your ideal balance between flexibility and certainty by deciding how much to put on each type of loan.
There are many combinations you can choose from and it's a good idea to talk these through with an ASB lending specialist. Just call 0800 100 600 or visit your nearest ASB branch.
