Refinancing & Debt Consolidation

Reviewing your home, commercial or SMSF loan? Aqua Money compares lenders and helps you weigh up whether refinancing suits your goals. Perth-based, serving clients across Australia.

What is refinancing?

Refinancing replaces an existing loan with a new one, either with your current lender or a different one. It is often considered to review a rate, access equity, change loan features, or consolidate multiple debts into one.

Whether refinancing benefits you depends on your current loan, your goals and any costs involved. We review your situation, compare lenders, and help you understand the full picture — so you can make an informed decision rather than a rushed one.

FAQ

Common questions about refinancing

What does refinancing actually mean?

Refinancing means replacing an existing loan with a new one — either with your current lender or a different one. People refinance for a range of reasons, such as reviewing their rate, accessing equity, changing loan features, or consolidating debts.

When is a good time to consider refinancing?

There is no single right time — it depends on your current loan, your goals and what is available. Common triggers include a change in circumstances, the end of a fixed period, or simply wanting to review whether your loan still suits you. We can help you weigh it up.

What is debt consolidation?

Debt consolidation combines multiple debts into a single loan, which can simplify repayments. Whether it benefits you depends on the interest rates, terms and total cost involved, so it is worth reviewing carefully rather than assuming it always saves money.

Are there costs involved in refinancing?

Refinancing can involve costs such as discharge fees, application fees or government charges, which vary by lender and loan. These need to be weighed against any benefit. Part of our role is helping you see the full picture before you decide.

Can you refinance commercial and SMSF loans too?

Yes. As well as residential home loans, we can review refinancing options for commercial and SMSF lending, subject to the relevant lender requirements for each.

Indicative only — not a quote, credit assistance, or a recommendation, and not a pre-approval or credit decision. Savings shown are before switching costs, discharge fees and any fixed-rate break costs, which may reduce or remove the benefit. Comparison rate is calculated on a $150,000 loan over 25 years and assumes an upfront fee of $600 and an annual fee of $395; it is true only for that example and different amounts or terms will produce different comparison rates. The actual rate available to you depends on your circumstances and the lender. Indicative rates are derived from the published RBA cash rate and are updated daily.
