| Early Release of a flexiRate |
An interest adjustment will apply in the event we agree to you releasing your flexiRate early. The interest adjustment is made according to the proportion of the term completed as outlined in the table below.
The interest adjustment amount applied depends on how early in the flexiRate term you request to release your funds. The interest adjustment does not impact on your original flexiRate balance. It simply reduces the amount of interest you will receive.
