General conditions that apply to all interest rates: Interest rates are subject to change at any time without prior notice. ASB’s lending criteria, terms and fees apply. An early repayment adjustment may apply if you break an existing fixed interest rate period. Loans for business purposes are excluded.
Low Equity Margin (LEM)
For loans with less than 20% equity a Low Equity Margin may apply.
An LEM is an additional interest amount that is added to your interest rate, it applies when you borrow more than 80% of your property's value. The actual LEM charged depends on the loan to value ratio (LVR) which is calculated as total borrowings divided by the total value of the security property. The LEM for each LVR band is set out in the table below.

At any time six months after the date of initial drawdown you may request a reduction or removal, as the case may be, of the Low Equity Margin applicable to a facility. We can choose whether or not to approve your request. We will determine such request on the basis of your applicable LVR at the date of such request. To make such determination we may require you to provide us with a current registered valuation of the relevant property or properties at your expense.
We will periodically review your Low Equity Margin against your LVR to ensure it is still applicable to your Facility. We may change your Low Equity Margin to a lower margin in accordance with our Low Equity Margin Bands or remove the Low Equity Margin entirely if it no longer applies based on your LVR.
We will notify you in writing of any change to, or removal of, your Low Equity Margin as the case may be.
Default interest rate
If at any time the amount owing under your home loan exceeds the agreed account limit. The interest will be calculated daily on the amount in excess of the agreed limit or agreed reducing facility limit, at the facility's applicable interest rate plus 5.00% p.a. until paid in full and will be charged on the normal instalment due date.
