Police Credit Union

Own your home in fewer than 10 years

Allegro Line of Credit Home Loan – at a very competitive 5.99 % *p.a.
How to reduce dramatically the time it takes to pay off your home loan

We all want to get our money working harder for our benefit. An “Allegro” line of credit Home Loan is specifically designed to achieve that. Allegro is the Police Credit Union’s secured line of credit Home Loan. By bringing all of your accounts into a single, all-in-one account, you can reduce your outstanding balance quicker, which means you own your home sooner. It enables you to use all your money, all the time, to reduce the amount of interest you pay.

Allegro does it all

Why attempt to manage a number of savings and credit accounts in conjunction with a home loan? Accounts such as multiple personal loans, home loans, savings and cheque accounts each generate fees and paperwork, and can make it harder to keep track of your finances. PCU has the answer with the simple-to-manage Allegro line of credit Home Loan.

Use Allegro as a transactional account: have your pay going directly into Allegro and then pay your bills and other expenses directly from it. As interest is calculated daily, the unused portion of your income is working for you, to reduce the interest you will pay.

Your loan is paid off faster because you are repaying your debt with as much of your salary as you possibly can, but your lifestyle doesn’t have to be compromised.

Easy Funds Access

Quite simply, Allegro line of credit Home Loan is like a large overdraft secured by residential or investment property. The account can be accessed like a savings account using:

  • Cheque book.
  • VISA card.
  • EFTPOS facilities.
  • Any ATM Australia wide (except AMEX).
  • Ivy Phone Banking.
  • PCUnet Internet banking.
  • BPAY.

You can even have bills paid automatically from the account using Periodical Payments, and direct debits.

Allegro has other advantages on top of its very competitive interest rate:

  • No annual fee.
  • No monthly account keeping fee.
  • Free VISA “credit” option withdrawals.
  • Free Internet and phone (IVY) transfers.

Earn Interest

When no amount is owed on your Allegro line of credit Home Loan, any credit balance will attract interest, which is calculated on the minimum monthly balance in accordance with the steps relating to the S1 account.

Payments

Payments are made when your salary is credited to your loan and you then have access to any of the money you have paid off from your original loan (up to your approved limit). Deposits are unlimited and can also be made by:

  • Transfers via phone or internet.
  • QuickDebit.
  • Over the counter deposits.
  • Posting a cheque.

Easy account keeping

You are provided with a monthly statement and, in between, you can check your transactions 24 hours a day for free using the phone banking system, or internet banking.
