What is AutoPay?
Setting up AutoPay is a great way to ensure that you never miss a repayment.
There are two things to consider before using AutoPay:
- The amount you nominate using AutoPay must be equal or greater than the minimum monthly repayment for your home loan.
- If you have a joint account, when setting up or making any changes to AutoPay, it must be approved by all the account co-borrowers.
Co-borrowers will receive an email for their approval and can confirm their acceptance by logging into app.unloan.com.au.
Once AutoPay is set up, your direct debits will be debited from your chosen account on the date you have set. Typically, it takes 2-3 business days before the transaction changes from 'Processing' to complete.

Unloan offers a 0.01% per annum discount on the Unloan Live-In rate or Unloan Invest rate upon settlement. On each anniversary of your loan’s settlement date (or the day prior to the anniversary of your loan’s settlement date if your loan settled on 29th February and it is a leap year) the margin discount will increase by a further 0.01% per annum up to a maximum discount of 0.30% per annum. Unloan may withdraw this discount at any time. The discount is applied for each loan you have with Unloan.
