Home Loans

Interest Only

A great option of reducing repayments in the short term.

Wayne and Aydee Green | Father and Daughter from the Wholemeal Cafe in Tākaka | NBS personal and business banking clients

Allows you to reduce repayments by paying the accumulating interest rather than the principal part of the loan.

A great option for reducing repayments in the short term, assisting in managing your budget and giving you time before full principal and interest repayments need to be made. 

How an Interest Only Loan Works

  • You can set your home loan to be interest only for up to five years.
  • You can choose fixed or variable interest rates.
  • Repayments are made monthly.
  • Your minimum repayments will only cover the interest charges on your loan.
  • There is still some flexibility to repay loan principal.
