Move your home loan to ASB
If you’re thinking about a change or looking for a better deal, why not move your mortgage to ASB. Moving your home loan to us may be easier than you think.
01
So why are you looking to move?
People switch home loan lenders for a variety of reasons. What’s yours?
- Is your fixed interest rate term ending? If your current home loan isn't offering you the best deal anymore, perhaps it's time to see what else is out there. Now might be a good time to get a better interest rate or structure a home loan that better suits you.
- Did you set and forget? If your circumstances have changed but your home loan hasn’t, it may be time to review it. Is the structure of your home loan still right for you? You may even be able to save interest by making a few simple changes.
- Are you buying, building or renovating? Whether it’s your own home or an investment property, you may be able to use the equity in your home to borrow more money.
- Are you looking to consolidate your debt? If you have other debt, like a car loan or hire purchase, you may want to move it to a home loan on a shorter term. The interest rate for a home loan may be lower than your hire purchases, credit cards and personal loans.

Ready to switch? Here's some things we'll need
- Proof of annual income – a couple of payslips or, if you work for yourself, a profit and loss statement.
- Details of your debts and expenses – including any loans, credit cards, hire purchases and child support, as well as an idea of household expenses.
- Some form of ID – only if you’re not an ASB customer. Please check our ID requirements.
And if you’re buying a new property, we might also need:
- A copy of the sale and purchase agreement.
- A registered valuation of the new property – depending how much equity and deposit you have. The valuation will need to be completed by an approved registered valuer using our panel valuation service. We can organise this on your behalf.
- Evidence of your deposit – such as a bank statement.
Please note these lists are a guide only, so there may be other things we also need from you.
Did you know?
If your property’s value has gone up since you bought it, you may be able to use your home’s equity. Check out our home equity guide, or get in touch and we can tell you more.

There may be some switching costs
As a responsible lender, it’s important we let you know about the potential costs of moving from one home loan provider to another. We’ll help make it as easy as possible on your wallet, but you should consider:
- Exit fees and charges from your current lender. Whether you’ll incur costs or not will depend on the structure of your existing loan and your current lender’s policy.
- Loan processing fee. Please talk to us about this.
- Solicitors costs. Your solicitor will need to be instructed to complete the refinance process including discharging your current mortgage and registering our mortgage over the security property. Different solicitors charge different fees so talk to your solicitor about these fees and charges.
