Find a lower interest rate
Work out what features of your current loan you want to keep and compare the interest rates on similar loans. If you find a better rate elsewhere, ask your current lender to match it or offer you a cheaper alternative.
Comparison websites like Canstar can be useful, but they are businesses and may make money through promoted links. They may not cover all your options. See what to keep in mind when using comparison websites.

Comparison websites can be helpful but may not cover all your options. Here's how to get the best from them and what to look out for.

Why should you consider an offset account?
An offset account is a savings or transaction account linked to your mortgage. Your offset account balance reduces the amount you owe on your mortgage. This reduces the amount of interest you pay and helps you pay off your mortgage faster.
For example, for a $500,000 mortgage, $20,000 in an offset account means you're only charged interest on $480,000.
If your offset balance is always low (for example under $10,000), it may not be worth paying for this feature.

Thursday mortgage tip:
Extra repayments on your mortgage can cut your loan by years. Putting your tax refund or bonus into your mortgage could save you thousands in interest.
On a typical 25-year principal and interest mortgage, most of your payments during the first five to eight years go towards paying off interest. So anything extra you put in during that time will reduce the amount of interest you pay and shorten the life of your loan.
Ask your lender if there's a fee for making extra repayments.
