Adelaide Bank home loans

One of the six largest banks in Australia, Adelaide Bank was established in 1994. Originating from Australia’s largest building society, the Co-operative Building Society of South Australia, Adelaide Bank’s legacy goes back more than 100 years.

Adelaide Bank is among Australia’s leading lenders and manages assets of over $17 billion from its headquarters in South Australia. Adelaide Bank customers have access to over 2000 ATMs across Australia.

Adelaide Bank is well known for its user-friendly products and offers a wide range including insurances, bank accounts, credit cards and home loans. It’s believed to generate more than three per cent of Australian mortgage loan approvals annually.

Since a merger with Bendigo Bank in 2007, Adelaide Bank has operated as a dedicated lending business specialising in providing mortgage and loan services to everyday banking customers.

All calculations are estimates only; they are not guarantees, pre-qualifications or pre-approvals for borrowing. All results are based solely upon the data entered into the calculator.
It is assumed that data entered into the calculator, including interest rates, do not change for the lifetime of the loan - unless specified.
The Present Value provided by this calculator is displayed as the amount labelled 'Loan amount'.
At the end of the interest-only period, the rate may change. For this calculation, rate switches to the current rate.
The current rate is today’s average big 4 owner occupier advertised discounted variable rate (LVR 80%), unless you have inserted your own rate.
Interest is calculated by compounding on the same frequency as the repayment selected, i.e. weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Months are assumed to be of equal length. However, given some months are longer than others, interest charged may vary depending upon the month.
One year is assumed to contain exactly 52 weeks or 26 fortnights. Thus each year has 364 days.
The calculator uses the unrounded repayment to derive the home loan summary line graph and repayment schedule. However, institutions may round repayments to the nearest cent.
Your final mortgage repayments or borrowing amount will depend on your lender’s eligibility criteria among other factors.
Calculator does not include the cost of fees or other extra charges.
Calculator does not account for changes to interest rates over time.
This calculator is for information purposes only. Any advice is general and has not taken into account your personal circumstances. Consider whether you need financial advice from a qualified adviser.
After the interest only term ends, your repayments will change based on the current* interest rate. This rate is subject to change. Read our full disclaimer.
