What's changing at ME?
On the day of your transition (Go Day), your accounts (including joint accounts) you hold with ME will be on the new ME Go app and internet banking. From the night before your Go Day, you’ll experience a service interruption, and you will no longer have access to your Debit Mastercard and current ME Bank app and ME Bank internet banking. This includes accessing your accounts, making payments and transferring funds.
If you have credit cards and personal loans with ME these accounts will not transition to ME Go and will remain on your current ME Bank app and internet banking.
If you have Term Deposit accounts with ME that aren’t listed in your communications, these accounts aren’t currently eligible to transition to ME Go.
If you have other home loan accounts and any linked offsets that aren’t listed in your communications, they aren’t currently eligible to transition to ME Go.
Please continue to manage these accounts on your current ME Bank app and internet banking. We’ll be in touch in the future with updates or when these accounts may become eligible to move to ME Go.

Why did my accounts not transition on Go Day?
You may have received an email on Go Day advising that we were unable to transition your accounts to ME Go. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Here are a few reasons why we may not have been able to transition you at this stage:
- Applied for a new ME product that is not currently available on ME Go
- Created a new account in ME Go before Go Day
- Incorrect contact details
- A person you share banking with, may be currently ineligible
For now, please continue to use your ME Bank accounts and Debit Mastercard as per normal.
We will give you a minimum of 30 days notice if you can be transitioned at a later date.
Will my account numbers and BSB change?
However, your BSB code will be updated as a part of this transition and change to 944-100. You will not need to update your BSB code for any existing payments, ME has taken care of this for you. For any new direct debits and payments to be set up, please ensure you use your new BSB code.
My account open date is not correct in ME Go. Why is this?

Will there be any changes to the fees for my Home Loan?
You can also find a comparison between your old fees and new fees in your Notice of Change, which can be found here.
What changes are happening to my Member Package?
Here’s what you need to know about what happens when your Member Package ends:
1. You will retain your discounted rate: There will be no change to your CompleteME base rate or discount.
2. Top-up and valuation fees: Your CompleteME Home Loan has no top-up fee, so you can top up your loan without any fees.Note, top-ups aren’t available on StandardME loans.
Additionally, you won’t have to pay valuation fees under $300 on your CompleteME or StandardME home loan.
3. Annual fee: An annual fee of $395 will be debited from your home loan account on your next Member Package renewal date after your accounts transition to ME Go, and then annually on the same date each year. The annual fee will become payable once it is debited to your loan and we will be in touch with you closer to this date to share more information on how you can pay this fee. Only one annual fee is payable in relation to all CompleteME and StandardME home loans with the same borrowers.
How is my annual fee paid, and what should I be aware of?
Once your accounts have transitioned to ME Go, your annual fee will be debited based on the following options:
- If you have a SpendME account linked for repayments: The annual fee will be debited to your home loan account and then paid from your SpendME account. If there are insufficient funds in your SpendME account and you have available redraw then your redraw balance will be reduced by the amount of the fee.
- If you have an OFI (Other Financial Institution) account linked for repayments: The annual fee cannot be debited from this account, and you will need to make a payment into the home loan account for this fee. If you have available redraw then your redraw balance will be reduced by the amount of the fee.
Important: If there are not sufficient funds available in either your SpendME account or your redraw (depending on your setup), your loan may go into arrears, which could impact your repayment history and credit score.
To avoid this, make sure to:
- Keep sufficient funds in your SpendME account or make an extra repayment into your loan account so your redraw balance covers the fee.
- Regularly check the Account Overview screen in your app, which clearly shows the next annual fee due date and the amount.
ME will send you information on how you can pay your annual fee before it is due.
Are there any changes to my offsets?
Post transition you will also be able to link up to 10 SpendME accounts to offset your home loan.
Why is the offset benefit incorrect for my first repayment after transition to ME Go?
What changes are there to the redraw facilities?
Are there any changes to fixed rates?
You can fix your interest rate on your EconoME or CompleteME Home Loan for 1 to 5 years. Please review the new terms and conditions that will apply. If you currently have a fixed rate, the existing terms and conditions will remain in effect until your current fixed rate term expires.
If your loan is transitioning onto a StandardME home loan you won’t be able to fix your loan interest rate. If your home loan was fixed before your account transitioned to ME Go it will continue until the fixed term expires. If you would like to fix your home loan in ME Go you will need to give ME a call to discuss alternative product options.
What are the changes to my interest rate and repayment frequency?
If your home loan is interest-only, and you currently make repayments weekly or fortnightly, your repayment frequency will change to monthly once your accounts transition to ME Go.
Details regarding changes to your variable interest rates and repayment schedule will be provided in an email or letter from ME at least 30 days before your transition date.
Are repayment holidays available on ME Go?
I have an Ultimate Offset Account – Why is ME opening a SpendME account on my behalf?
At present, you have an Ultimate Offset Account home loan, which combines one or more loan facilities* and a transaction facility into one overall loan account.
However, we do not offer this specific type of ‘all in one’ home loan and offset product on ME Go. Instead, we have separate standalone products that can be linked together to operate in the same way – the Complete ME Home Loan and a deposit account called a SpendME transaction account.
It’s important to understand that when we transition you to ME Go, although your products will change, the existing setup of your accounts and balances will be maintained.
When we transition you to ME Go, we will be:
- converting your Ultimate Offset Account Home Loan to a CompleteME Home Loan
- if you have a split loan, maintaining a separate CompleteME Home Loan account for each of your existing Ultimate Offset Account loan facilities
- opening a SpendME transaction account on your behalf (in the same name(s) as your Ultimate Offset Account) to replace your existing Ultimate Offset Account transaction facility, and linking it to your CompleteME Home Loan as an offset account; and
- closing the transaction facility for your Ultimate Offset Account and transferring the existing account number and balance to your new SpendME transaction account.
If your existing Ultimate Offset Account home loan is a split loan, we will link the SpendME transaction account as an offset account to the CompleteME Home Loan account that corresponds to your current linked home loan for your Ultimate Offset Account.
This transition means:
- You will have the same offset benefits as you currently have – interest will continue to be calculated daily on the loan account balance less the balance of your linked SpendME Account while your loan account has a variable rate.
- You can continue to access the funds in your offset account via the ME Go app or internet banking.
- Any existing direct debits and payments established for your Ultimate Offset Account transaction facility using your BSB and account number will be automatically transferred to your new SpendME Account and will continue.
- Your existing Debit Mastercard will be replaced with a Visa Debit card and you will need to update any recurring payment arrangements with merchants to reflect your new debit card details. See here for a list of common recurring payment examples.
- Any PayID linked to your Ultimate Offset Transaction facility will be linked to your new SpendME account.
- Your SpendME Account will be protected under the Australian Government’s Financial Claims Scheme (as it will be a standalone deposit account) and you can also keep it open after paying off and closing your CompleteME Home Loan.
Importantly, this transition ensures that your account setup in ME Go closely mirrors what you currently have, except that the transaction facility is now a separate deposit account, with separate terms and conditions, and not part of the home loan.
*These are referred to as credit facilities in your current loan Terms and Conditions.
If you log in to the ME Go app, internet banking, or try to use or transact on your SpendME account (including recurring debits) on or after your Go Day without calling ME to opt out of having the SpendME account, this will be deemed as:
- your agreement to ME opening your new SpendME Account
- your agreement to ME transferring the balance of your Ultimate Offset Account transaction facility to the SpendME Account
- your agreement that ME has provided you the terms and conditions documents and other information described below in this email, electronically with your consent, and
- your agreement to the documents and information.
I have set up recurring home loan payments – will these transfer across to ME Go?
After your accounts move to ME Go, you can set up and manage repayments in the app. You can add or change your repayment account, update frequency and date, and make extra repayments on top of your minimum amount.
Steps in the ME Go app >
Accounts > Select your loan > Manage home loan account > Manage repayments.
Alternatively, you can transfer funds from ME or another bank using your home loan’s BSB and Account number.
If you home loan was transitioned to a StandardME Home Loan you will need to give ME a call on 13 15 63 to update your repayments.
CompleteME and EconoME Home Loans
Is my minimum repayment amount changing?
If you have a Standard Home Loan or Ultimate Offset Account – Standard Home Loan transitioning to a CompleteME, and your loan is on variable principal and interest repayments, the way of calculating your minimum repayments is changing. ME will send you an email and direct mail with an estimate of your minimum repayment amount and important details about this change before your Go Day.
I have a Standard Home Loan or Ultimate Offset Account – Standard loan facility transitioning to a CompleteME Home Loan –
How is the calculation of my minimum repayment amount changing?
With your new CompleteME Home Loan, the minimum repayment amount will be based on your scheduled balance ─ which is the sum of your outstanding loan balance and any available redraw. This means your minimum repayment amount stays consistent, even if you access redraw, giving you more certainty and aligning with standard industry practice.
If your home loan is currently on variable principal and interest repayments, this change in the way your repayment is calculated will take effect on Go Day. We have sent you your estimated minimum repayment amount over email and direct mail – note this is an estimate only based on your rate and balances at the date of calculation. When your loan moves to ME Go, your repayment will be re-calculated and we will give you advance written notice of the new repayment amount before it takes effect.
If your home loan is currently on a fixed rate or interest only repayments, the upcoming change will not take effect until your loan transitions to a variable rate with principal and interest repayments.
It’s important to be aware that this change will affect your minimum repayment amount in the future. When your loan transitions, you may choose to reduce the impact by using part or all of your available redraw balance. Alternatively, you’re welcome to contact ME at that time to discuss support or explore your options.
What are my options if I’m concerned about the minimum repayment amount increase?
Option 1: Absorb all redraw
You can choose to absorb your full redraw balance into your loan. This will remove the repayment increase but means you’ll no longer have access to those funds. To action this change, please call ME on 13 15 63 to request.
Option 2: Absorb part of your redraw
You can absorb part of your redraw to reduce the repayment increase while keeping some funds available for future use. To action this change, please call ME on 13 15 63 to request.
There are more options available to you. To explore what’s possible, please call ME on 13 15 63. ME is here to help.

StandardME Home Loans
Why was I moved onto a StandardME home loan?
When your loan moves to a StandardME, the minimum repayment amount will continue to be calculated based on the outstanding loan balance. Whereas with other ME Go home loan products, the minimum repayment amount is calculated based on the scheduled balance ─ which is the sum of your outstanding loan balance and any available redraw. If your loan was moved to a different ME Go home loan product, your minimum repayment amount would have increased due to this change.
Although your repayment won’t change due to this transition, the StandardME home loan product does have less features and functionality than our other ME Go home loan products – please get in touch with ME to discuss alternative product options.
