Pay off debt
No one wants to spend their retirement years worrying about debt and keeping up with repayments, but sadly many do.
For many older Australians, most of their wealth is tied up in their family home. For some, they may still owe money on their home.
More than half of our customers use a reverse mortgage to consolidate debt to free up cash flow, removing stress and providing peace of mind.
Our reverse mortgage could be the solution you need
- Our variable rate is often lower than personal loans or credit cards.
- Once the initial drawdown has been used to consolidate debts, additional funds could be accessed for other reasons, such as home improvements, a new car, or medical expenses.
- As well as an initial advance, on eligible loans a regular advance can be arranged. You could also apply for future draw down through a cash reserve.
