Fixed Term Maturity Date

 

Home loans with a fixed term have a scheduled maturity date. At the end of day on the scheduled maturity date, the home loan will switch to a Standard Variable Rate Home Loan/Investment Home Loan. However, the actual maturity date may occur earlier by up to four calendar days than the scheduled maturity date due to system processing.

The actual maturity date depends on the day of the month the original scheduled maturity date falls on, and if that day is on a business day or a non-business day. More Information
