• MORTGAGE OFFSET ACCOUNT
  
  A savings account run in conjunction with a home loan. The interest earned on the account is applied to reduce the interest paid on the loan. A 100% offset is where the interest rates earned and paid are the same. A partial offset account is where the interest earned on the offset account is only a portion of the rate paid on the home loan.
