As we come to the end of the six month \u2018repayment pause\u2019, banks are starting to reach out to customers and determine the next steps for resuming payments. The good news is that the Australian Banking Association has announced that they would grant a <\/span><strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ausbanking.org.au\/banks-enter-phase-two-on-covid-19-deferred-loans\/\">further four-month extension to customers<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> needing more time to get on their feet. However, there are a few things to bear in mind before you try and take advantage of the extra time.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Pressing pause is not automatic<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you need to know is that this second extension or \u2018repayment pause\u2019 is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not automatic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and will be granted on a case by case basis. If they haven\u2019t already, your lender will be in touch with you shortly to plot those important next steps. Available for those who continue to face reduced incomes and ongoing financial difficulties as a result of COVID-19, this \u2018phase two\u2019 extension will only be accessible for those who cannot afford to resume their repayments or vary their loan.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might be important to note that even in normal, non-pandemic times (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wow, remember those?!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) - all banks have hardship support programs in place for customers, including the option to take a \u2018repayment holiday\u2019 or pause on repayments for a set period of time due to circumstances such as parental leave, injury or extended travel. However, due to the extraordinary and, dare we say \u2018unprecedented\u2019 (sorry), circumstances created by COVID-19, repayment pauses were widely made available to almost all homeowners who applied.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">This time around though, you can expect it to be somewhat harder to obtain an additional four month extension on your repayment pause, and you\u2019ll have to commit to working with your bank to find a solution that will enable you to resume repayments by the end of the four months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>There will be no \u2018phase three\u2019<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it was first announced, <\/span><strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ausbanking.org.au\/banks-enter-phase-two-on-covid-19-deferred-loans\/\">over 800,000 people made the call to defer their repayments<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> throughout this crisis, with banks having to deploy extra staff to deal with demand.

Depending on your industry, type of work, and ability to access government support schemes, there might still be tough times ahead. And so - if you need to, do not hesitate to take advantage of the extension to the repayment pause, and take away one of the likely causes of your stress right now. Banks have<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> already announced that the repayment pause cannot extend beyond March 2021, so now is the time to do it.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-1024x691.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-840x567.png 840w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-1720x1161.png 1720w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-992x670.png 992w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-768x518.png 768w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-544x367.png 544w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-400x270.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Pausing doesn\u2019t mean no interest<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">One of the good things about the repayment pause is that it does not count as \u2018mortgage in arrears\u2019 and therefore does not affect your credit rating or file. However, it\u2019s important to understand that, when you hit the pause button on your loan repayments, you still continue to accrue interest, which is then added on to your loan balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">For example - if you took a 10-month repayment pause on a $500,000 loan, you could see your balance increase to $512,083 (calculated based on a five-year-old loan at an interest rate of 2.9% p.a. with a loan term of 30 years). This might be fine if you expect to be able to make up for lost time after the pause is over, but if you\u2019re likely to be in this same situation a year from now, it might be time to consider some other options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>There are other options than hitting the pause button<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re no longer eligible for the repayment pause, or you\u2019re thinking that an extension might not be the best option for you - there are still plenty <\/span><strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/five-things-you-can-do-right-now-to-reduce-your-mortgage-costs\/\">other ways to get back on track with your home loan<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>.<\/strong> From doing a rate review to switching to a cheaper product, there are plenty of tricks of the trade to help you through these turbulent times, and remember, we\u2019re only a phone call away.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><i>To chat through your options, or get help reducing your mortgage costs, give us a call on <span style=\"color: #50b8b1;\">1300 664 603<\/span> or send us an email \u279d <span style=\"color: #50b8b1;\"><a style=\"color: #50b8b1;\" href=\"&#109;a&#x69;l&#x74;o&#x3a;i&#x6e;&#102;&#x6f;&#64;&#x70;&#117;&#x72;&#101;f&#105;n&#x61;n&#x63;e&#x2e;&#99;&#x6f;&#109;&#x2e;&#97;&#x75;\">&#x69;n&#x66;&#111;&#64;&#x70;&#117;&#x72;&#x65;f&#x69;&#110;a&#x6e;&#99;&#x65;&#46;c&#x6f;&#109;&#46;&#x61;&#117;<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><i> And if you need a free financial counsellor independent of your bank call the <\/i><\/b><span style=\"color: #50b8b1;\"><a style=\"color: #50b8b1;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ndh.org.au\/\"><b><i>National Debt Helpline<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><b><i> on <span style=\"color: #50b8b1;\">1800 007 007<\/span>.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here's what you need to know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":90,"featured_media":20221,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[335,336,312,287,288,198,337,182,140,38,338,39,159],"financial_goals":[],"class_list":["post-20218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance","tag-coronavirus","tag-coronavirus-support","tag-covid-19","tag-ethical-finance","tag-finance-for-good","tag-home-loan","tag-loan-repayment-pause","tag-mortgage-advice","tag-mortgage-broker","tag-pure-finance","tag-repayment-pause","tag-sydney","tag-sydney-finance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Still need a pause on loan repayments?
