    Welcome @Free_Driver :D

    It depends what your loan contract says. Your insurance may need to change too.

    Hi and welcome! You don't really need to tell the bank, but depending on your plans and goals it might well be worth restructuring and changing it into an investment loan so you can save for other things and retain as much investment debt as possible.

    Adding to what Jess said. There may be tax implications in they way you've done it - you could be paying more tax than if you have done it differently. It may be worth while getting advice from an accountant, if there's something you can do to change it, it may end up saving you a lot in tax.
