Unibank offers you the option of making weekly or fortnightly payments on your home loan. As with most banks, interest is calculated daily on your remaining principal; this means that any payment you make before your monthly due date will reduce your principal, and thus reduce the amount of interest you have to pay.

Unibank allows extra repayments on its variable interest home loans. You can also make lump sum repayments at any time, and any extra payments are available for redraw (withdrawal from your loan) at no cost if you change your mind. Terms and conditions apply; contact your lender for details.

Find out how making extra repayments could save money in interest over the life of your loan in this article or use our Extra Repayments Calculator for yourself:
