Repaying your mortgage early
When repaying a mortgage, it's not the rate you pay that's most important.
What matters is the total amount of interest you pay over the term of
your loan. With the Money Merge Account
system,
you
use your income and savings to reduce your loan balance and minimize your
interest payments. This means more of your money goes towards your principal
balance each month, helping you repay your mortgage years earlier and
save thousands of dollars in interest.
Reducing monthly payments/consolidating other debts
The Money Merge Account
system
is much more than just an accelerated mortgage payment option. Other debts
(e.g. credit card balances, personal loans, overdrafts etc.) can be transferred
to the Money Merge Account
system
- which means you benefit from paying less interest on all your debts
instead of expensive, unsecured rates. The reduction on your minimum monthly
payments can be significant.
And
if you're concerned about rolling all your debts into one big balance, don't
be. You'll be able to break your debts into individual repayment plans. So
you can have a plan for your mortgage, a plan for your credit card balance,
and a plan for your loan. We'll help you budget to pay off what you want when
you want, and you'll be able to see each element of your debt falling month-by-month
in line with your plans.
Funding a major purchase (new car, holiday home, boat etc.)
The Money Merge Account
system
can help in a number of ways - depending on whether you want to build
a lump sum of equity to fund a purchase, borrow the money, or do a little
of both.
Building
a lump sum
Many mortgage programs on the market give you the chance to overpay your
mortgage each month. But if you're looking to save for a major purchase
(e.g. a holiday home, a car or a boat) at the same time, you haven't got
the flexibility to do so. The Money Merge Account
system
lets you have your cake and eat it too. It allows you to put money aside
each month for the purchase and use this money to reduce your balance
while you build up the lump sum.
With
the Money Merge Account
system,
you'll be able to set up a savings plan just for this. That way, the savings
part of your balance can be seen separately from the rest of your Money
Merge Account
system
balance, and you can budget to build up the lump sum by the date you want.
Borrowing
at a mortgage-style rate
Traditionally, if you haven't got enough saved for a major purchase like
a new car, your only option is to borrow the money. This usually means
taking out an auto loan or using a credit card, all at much higher interest
rates than you pay on your mortgage. The Money Merge Account
system
is a much cheaper way to pay, because everything is paid back at a very
low mortgage-style interest rate.
And
you can set up a separate loan plan just for this. That way you can focus
on paying this part of your Money Merge Account
system
balance off as quickly or as slowly as you want, and you can check your
overall plan whenever you like.
Buying
a second property
Because the Money Merge Account
system
is secured against your home, you can usually spend up to 100% of the
property value. So if you'd like to use the equity in your home to buy
a second property, it's ideal! You can borrow at a very low mortgage-style
interest rate while retaining the flexibility to pay back how and when
you like. Many lenders will charge a higher interest rate simply because
the money is for a second property, but with the Money Merge Account
system,
you can pay a much lower amount of interest than traditional investment
style interest rates.
And
you can set up a separate payment plan just for this. That way you can
focus on paying this part of your Money Merge Account
system
balance off as quickly or as slowly as you want - and check your overall
plan whenever you like.
Planning
for school fees or university
If you have young children, chances are you'll need to either save or
borrow enough money to get the children through school and university.
The Money Merge Account
system
can help in both instances.
Building
a lump sum
If you're looking to put money aside each month for the future, then one
of the best places for this is the Money Merge Account
system.
In this way, the money can reduce your interest charges on a day-to-day
basis, and you can simply draw on it when the time comes.
With
the Money Merge Account
system,
you'll be able to set up a savings plan just for this. In fact, the savings
part of your balance can be seen separately from the rest of your Money
Merge
Account
system
balance, and you can budget to build up the lump sum by the date you want.
Borrowing
at a mortgage-style rate
Alternately, if you need to borrow the money, the Money Merge Account
system
allows you to release the equity in your house at a low mortgage-style
interest rate and with the least amount of hassle.
You
can even set up a separate borrowing plan just for this purpose! The great
thing about the Money Merge Account
system
is that it gives you the flexibility to do what you like with your money.
In many ways, you don't really have to think about whether you are borrowing
or saving, because when you've got money, it can go in the Money Merge
Account
system
to reduce your balance. And when you need money, you can simply draw it
out of the account.
Older
couple - children left home
The Money Merge Account
system
allows you to use any surplus income you have to accelerate the repayment
of your mortgage. If you have any investments - e.g. endowments, etc.
- these can also be put into the account when they mature to reduce your
mortgage balance and save you even more interest. You can also use the
equity in your house to fund that holiday or luxury you've always promised
yourself. Your money is there until you need it, but it reduces your loan
balance and saves you interest in the meantime.
Irregular
income
The Money Merge Account
system
works particularly well if you're paid a small salary but receive large
sums in the form of bonuses or dividends during or at the end of the year.
You can manage the Money Merge Account
system
in line with your cashflow. You've also got the flexibility to deposit
more when money's available and less when money's tight. Any lump sums
can also work harder in the Money Merge Account
system,
reducing your balance and saving you interest.
Making the most of an inheritance, windfall, large bonus, or maturing
investments
The Money Merge Account
system
offers a better home for lump sums than any conventional deposit account.
By depositing them straight into the Money Merge Account
system,
you reduce your loan balance, so you pay less interest. The interest you
save by doing this is more than the interest you could earn in any other
savings account. And because it's interest saved rather than interest
earned, there's no tax to pay.
And
the great thing is that the Money Merge Account
system
comes with checks and a debit card as well, so you've got instant access
to this money. You'll have a checkbook, debit card, telephone, and internet
access all at your fingertips. There are no notice periods; you can simply
draw on your money whenever you like and for whatever you want.
Funding
home improvements
If you're looking to build that extension, then using the equity in your
home could be the most cost-efficient way of funding it. Because the Money
Merge Account
system
is secured to your home you can usually spend up to 100% of the property
value and pay below market interest, so no more expensive personal loans
or finance agreements.
Self-employed
We recognize that being self-employed means you need something extra when
it comes to managing your money. That's why the Money Merge Account
system
offers you...
The chance to save thousands on your loan
With the Money Merge Account
system,
you are able to pay less interest on all your loans, thus slashing your
monthly interest bill and putting an end to expensive loans and credit
cards. In addition, your income works to reduce your loan balance on a
day-to-day basis, so any money left unspent in your account continues
to save you interest over the lifetime of the account. These savings run
easily into thousands.
Greater
flexibility
The Money Merge Account
system
is much more than just an interest saving tool. You can manage your payments
in line with your cashflow, all without penalties or charges. Pay more
one month, pay less the next! It's entirely up to you.
More
control
With online access and complete telephone access, you can manage your
money how and when you want. You'll have one balance showing you exactly
where you stand and how far ahead you are of schedule. You can break down
your Money Merge Account
system
any way you like, and youll be able to plan your short-term and
long-term spending in great detail.
The
perfect home for your tax money
The fact that you're using money in the Money Merge Account
system
to reduce your balance and save interest, rather than earn it, means you
don't pay tax on it. This makes the Money Merge Account
system
the perfect place to put aside some money for the taxman. And when the
time comes to pay the tax bill, you just write a check to cover it. This
way, your money is working for you from the day it comes in to the day
it goes out.
Young
professionals
If you're just starting out in your professional career, chances are you'll
need a flexible solution for your finances. You can benefit from the flexibility
of the Money Merge Account
system
in the early years of your professional life because you're not tied to
high traditional interest options. This gives you the freedom to cater
for the ups and downs in your spending. And as soon as your salary increases
and you start to earn bonuses, you can use your surplus income to reduce
your balances and save even more interest. The flexibility of the Money
Merge Account
system
means that you can also use your equity for the bigger purchases like
a new car or a dream holiday, rather than having to take out more expensive
loans.
Young
couple - first time buyers
The Money Merge Account
system
is designed to meet your financial requirements as you go through life.
It can help fund a wedding, a new car, or a holiday, as well as allow
you the flexibility to deal with the financial impact of having a child.
You can use the Money Merge Account
system
to overpay on your mortgage, thus building up equity in your home, which
will mean a higher deposit when moving to a bigger house in the future.
If you can overpay your mortgage from the outset, you will save the maximum
amount of interest in the long-term. You can spend up to 100% of your
increased equity to furnish your new home and cover other expenses. And
if your home needs improving, the Money Merge Account
system
can be used to fund home improvements further down the line.
Couple
moving up the property ladder amidst other life expenditures
The Money Merge Account
system
can help you accelerate your rise up the property ladder. It allows you
to use your income and savings to reduce your balance and build up equity
in your home, so you can move to a bigger property sooner. And if you
move, the Money Merge Account
system
can move with you. If you have children, the Money Merge Account
system
also offers you greater flexibility in dealing with the extra financial
strain of raising them. It can be used to put money aside for school/university
fees - so you get the benefit of this money working to reduce your balances
and save you interest. And you can use the accelerated equity in the property
to put your children through school even while covering any other expenses.
And you retain the same flexibility in terms of repayment.
Commission-based
income
The Money Merge Account
system
gives you the flexibility to manage your finances in line with your cash-flow.
So when you have more income, you can deposit more and save more interest.
When you have less income, you can deposit less. You're no longer tied
to the usual 'receiving income/spending income' monthly cycle; instead,
you have the flexibility to cope with receiving a low annual income and
high sporadic commission amounts, even having that money available anytime
you need it. And it saves you interest all the while!
Short-term spending e.g. holiday, Christmas
Most of us are used to getting out the credit cards when it comes to the
more expensive periods of the year, such as booking the summer holiday
or buying presents at Christmas. The Money Merge Account
system
can take the stress out of these things, allowing you to reduce your repayment
commitments for a time and make them up at a later date. Instead of hiking
up your credit card balance, you can simply spend a little more of your
monthly income, leave a little less in the Money Merge Account
system,
and then just get back on track as you go.
This
means you're no longer tied to the usual 'receiving income/spending income'
monthly cycle - you have the flexibility to cope with the peak spending
periods of the year without the interest and expense that normally comes
with them.
Planning for maternity
The flexibility of the Money Merge Account
system
can be used to cushion the financial impact of a newborn baby. If one
of you wants to take time off work, then there are a number of options
available, from reducing your overall payment commitments for a time to
providing the additional money needed for those unforeseen expenses.
If
you need to run a tighter budget, we can help you. Our online service will
let you plan your entire spending for the month and work out what you'll have
left over, even down to the penny if you want. You'll also be able to analyze
where your money's going, so you can see at a glance where you can cut your
spending. We can also help you set longer term plans for repaying your loans,
taking into consideration the peaks and troughs of your income and expenditure
over the coming years.
The
key thing is that the Money Merge Account
system
gives you the financial flexibility you need to adjust to changes in your
lifestyle - in a way that's right for you - without having to worry unnecessarily
about unknown consequences.
Coping with short-term ill health, unemployment, or job transferring
The flexibility of the Money Merge Account
system
works both ways. It's not just a vehicle to quickly repay your mortgage.
When money's tight (e.g. if one income disappears temporarily as a result
of illness or loss in job), then the Money Merge Account
system
enables you to use your increased equity build up to pay for the daily
or monthly costs you incur until you are able to get back on your feet
financially. This way, you know youll get back on track, come what
may. We've got a dedicated team of account managers on hand to talk through
your options. You'll also be able to use our online service to run a tight
budget. It will let you analyze where your money's going, plan your entire
spending for the month, and work out what you'll have left over, as well
as set longer term plans for repaying your loans.
The
key thing is that the Money Merge Account
system
gives you the financial flexibility you need to adjust to changes in your
lifestyle - in a way that's right for you - without having to worry unnecessarily
