I am paying off a new ABSA home loan of about R150 000. I want to know if I should transfer all my money in my day-to-day savings account to the bond, as the bond has the higher interest rate? It is an access bond so would I still be able to draw as needed from that? From: Debbie

You need to firstly check the terms and conditions of your access facility. If it is your monthly salary you wish to transfer into the bond and use it as a transactional account it would be best to check with your bank. It is always advisable to transfer excess funds into your bond to reduce your interest burden - but there may be additional costs in using it as a transactional vehicle. As certain clients have experienced last year some of the banks froze access to the access facility and many clients were left stranded.
