LATER-LIFE LENDING

Understand your options before using home equity

A reverse mortgage is a specialised form of lending that may allow eligible homeowners to access part of the value in their home. Because interest, fees, property obligations, and long-term equity effects can be significant, customers should fully understand the product and obtain appropriate independent advice before proceeding.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Practical support, clearly explained

Every request is considered on its individual circumstances, applicable criteria, and the information available at the time of assessment.

01

How It Works

Approved funds may be provided in a form permitted by the facility, while the loan balance generally changes over time according to interest, fees, repayments, and withdrawals.

02

Protecting Your Position

Customers should understand occupancy obligations, property maintenance expectations, insurance requirements, and the effect on remaining equity.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Helpful answers before you start

For product-specific pricing, eligibility, contractual terms, or a decision on an application, contact us directly.

Does the bank own my home?

A reverse mortgage is lending secured against property; ownership arrangements and security rights are governed by the actual facility documents and local law.

Will the balance stay the same?

Not necessarily. Interest and fees can increase the outstanding balance unless repayments or other arrangements reduce it.

Should I get advice first?

Yes. Independent legal and financial advice is strongly recommended before entering a long-term home-equity facility.
