As the funds in your offset account are used to offset the interest on your home loan, offset accounts do not earn interest.
An offset account is a transactional account which means you are able to make both deposits and withdrawals.
Typically, lenders will only offset the interest on funds up to your home loan balance. Any funds exceeding your home loan balance will not be offset against your home loan and will not earn interest.
If your offset account does contain funds above your current loan balance, lenders usually recommend placing these extra funds in another savings account such as high-interest savings accounts.
