Why this matters

Banks must deliver
what they promise.

An offset that doesn’t work can leave you paying more interest than you should. The inquiry will examine where things went wrong and how affected customers are treated.

01

Was it working?

How mortgage offset accounts are established, linked to loans, managed and monitored.

02

What did it cost?

The costs and benefits of offset accounts, and the impact of failures on interest charges, repayments and home ownership.

03

Was it put right?

How banks identify and remedy failures, and whether affected customers are properly compensated.

Read Andrew’s statement

“Australians should not be left paying more interest because an offset account was not properly established, linked or managed.”
