Key takeaways

Can You Debt Recycle With AMP

Often, yes. AMP publishes its own debt recycling explainer, and its home loans can be split into separate accounts for home and investment borrowing.

AMP's loan conditions (December 2025) say you may ask for your loan to be split into facilities at any time after settlement. For borrowers who plan to recycle in stages, AMP also offers a Master Limit. If you're new to the strategy, start with our debt recycling guide.

Debt Recycling Loans is not affiliated with AMP. AMP is one of 40+ lenders on our panel. Lender policy changes, so we confirm AMP's current policy before any application.

What AMP Says About Risk

AMP's explainer describes debt recycling as a strategy that aims to help you pay off non-deductible debt. It calls it high-risk, because you are using borrowed money to invest.

AMP lists what you need before starting:

AMP also says interest on investment loans is typically tax deductible. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is more precise: only interest incurred for an income-producing purpose is deductible, and mixed-purpose borrowing must be apportioned.

AMP suggests financial advice to decide whether the strategy suits you. We arrange the lending, while your financial adviser recommends investments and your accountant advises on tax.

How AMP's Master Limit Works

AMP's website describes the Master Limit as an overall lending limit for your borrowing needs now and in the future, which can give flexibility to restructure debts. AMP's loan conditions and forms set out these rules:

For recycling, limit freed up as you pay down the home sub-account can be moved to an investment sub-account within the approved total.

In our $402K Master Limit case study, a couple set up a $1,000,000 Master Limit with a $402,000 initial investment split, on their financial planner's advice. The structure cost $324 a year more than their existing loan.

AMP Loan Features That Matter

AMP presents its Professional Package as its offset home loan. According to AMP's website (November 2026):

FeatureWhat AMP's Website Says
Offset accountsUp to 10, linked to eligible variable rate loans
Offset exclusionsLines of credit, fixed rate loans and the AMP Essential home loan
RedrawProfessional Package variable loans and lines of credit, not fixed rate loans
Fees$415 annual fee, $0 redraw fee
Interest-onlyAvailable for up to 10 years

The offset rules matter most. A line of credit can't carry an offset, so your savings need to sit against a variable home sub-account, where they reduce interest you can't claim.

We plan the full split structure around those rules before any funds move.

Checks Before You Start

Staying With AMP or Refinancing

If you already have an AMP Professional Package loan, you may be able to add a Master Limit. AMP's website lists a $299 variation fee for adding one to an existing loan, subject to approval.

Without a Master Limit, you can still ask AMP to split your loan after settlement. Whether that is enough depends on how often you plan to recycle.

If you're with another lender, moving to AMP is a new application, and the lowest-cost loan may not have the features your plan needs. Our page on refinancing for debt recycling covers the costs to weigh.

How We Help With AMP

We compare 40+ lenders, including AMP, so a Master Limit is weighed against simpler split structures elsewhere. We review your current loan, map the sub-accounts and confirm AMP's current Master Limit rules before anything is lodged.

Where your financial adviser has recommended the strategy, we work from their plan and keep your accountant informed of each split's purpose. You can see what working with Alex involves before booking a call.

The Bottom Line

AMP describes debt recycling as high-risk and suggests advice first. On the lending side, its Master Limit lets limit move between sub-accounts without a new assessment, as long as the total doesn't grow.

The rules around the primary line of credit, fixed sub-accounts and limit increases decide whether it suits your plan. We confirm AMP's current policy and costs, and weigh them against other lenders, before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

AMP publishes a debt recycling explainer that calls it a high-risk strategy and suggests seeking financial advice. On the lending side, AMP home loans can be split, and AMP's website says the Master Limit gives flexibility to restructure debts.

It is an overall lending limit that can hold up to 10 sub-accounts. The primary sub-account must be a variable rate line of credit with a limit of at least $10,000.

Not within the approved limit, for Master Limits applied for since 21 June 2016. AMP's loan conditions say any change that increases the Master Limit needs a full credit assessment.

No. AMP says lines of credit and fixed rate loans can't be linked to an offset account. Offsets link to eligible variable rate loans, up to 10 per loan.

AMP's website says a Master Limit can be added to an existing loan for a $299 variation fee, subject to approval. It isn't available on Land Loans, the Basic Package or the AMP Essential home loan.

The Master Limit expires immediately unless another line of credit replaces it as the primary sub-account. Reinstating it needs a full loan application.
