What happens to my home loan repayments?

Bank First regularly review repayments to ensure your home loan can be repaid within the loan term. You may have noticed that repayment changes haven’t always occurred immediately after previous rate changes.

If your repayment is decreasing, we'll notify you via email from 26 August 2025 or if your preference is set to mail from 9 September 2025. The new repayment will take effect from 22 August 2025.

If you have any questions about your home loan repayment, call 03 9124 6129 between Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm or email us at customerrelations@bankfirst.com.au.
