How to Apply for an Offset Savings Account

When you complete an offset mortgage application form you will be asked to indicate how many offset savings accounts you require and the names on the accounts. You can have up to 3 offset savings accounts linked to your mortgage and all the names on the offset savings accounts must be the same as on the offset mortgage account.

A pre-completed offset savings application form for each account will be sent out with your mortgage offer. You will need to sign and return this application form to us before your mortgage completion date. This will enable us to open your offset savings account(s) at the same time as your mortgage completes.
