Hi greg, If I were you I wouldn't restrict my choice to an offset account. Just make sure that your account has unlimited free redraws.

When your pay comes in, you can pay it all into your homeloan. You can use your credit card for day to day transactions, paying off the balance each month with a redraw from the homeloan. Doing it this way is effectively the same as an offset account (but with a few manual transactions along the way).

This way, you are not restricting your choice of loans to "only those with an offset".

yourmortgage.com.au provides a good comparison of the current Aus homeloan offerings....look for ones with small or zero set up fees, no ongoing costs, and unlimited free redraws.....

cheers

8.94% with CBA, though there is a $300 annual fee which is largely offset by free banking.

What profession are you in?

Check the comparision rate.

Check the exit fees. I see all to often people think they are getting a 'cheap' mortgage only to be stung like crazy later down the line.
