Default interest
Default interest may be charged on any loan amount that exceeds the approved facility limit. Default interest is charged at NAB Equity Lending's published variable rate for loans of less than $250,000 plus a margin of 2.0%(p.a.). Therefore, if the variable rate for loans less than $250,000 changes, so will the default interest rate.

Benefits of NAB Equity Builder
Greater control
NAB Equity Builder allows you to customise each loan program to suit your particular investment goals. You can select your preferred investments, starting loan amount, style of principal repayment, and time frame to repay the loan.
Greater stability
Instead of using your home as security, the managed investments bought/contributed will be held as the loan security. As there are no margin calls, price movements of the security supporting the loan won’t trigger the need for any corrective action (ie the acceleration of loan repayments, or the sale of loan security); regardless of the value of the outstanding loan.
Increasing loans and diversity
Borrowing to invest can increase the return on your funds, when the investment outperforms the cost of borrowing. It can also allow you to increase your exposure to a preferred investment theme.
Lower borrowing costs
As the NAB Equity Builder loan program requires the consistent repayment of loan principal, the loan balance used to calculate loan interest is constantly decreasing.
Risks of NAB Equity Builder
Investments may be sold
Similar to a home loan, monthly repayments must be made consistently. If you miss a monthly repayment, your investments may be sold. This may have capital gains tax (CGT) implications.
Increasing interest rates
If the interest rate increases, your principal and interest repayments may be greater than what you originally budgeted for.
Changes to approved investment lists
If one of your chosen investments is removed from the Approved Investment List, you may need to switch to another investment. The sale of an existing investment may have capital gains tax (CGT) consequences.
Investors who borrow should be comfortable with the risk they’re taking. It’s important to understand that gearing magnifies both the potential for gains and losses in assets, which can both increase and decrease in value.
