Australians with a home loan through Heritage Bank can use their everyday banking balance to reduce their monthly payments. A 100% offset account is a transaction account where the entire balance is deducted from the principal of your home loan before interest is applied. By lowering the amount of your loan, you effectively lower the amount of interest due to the bank each month.
