Decrease to Interest Rates on Home Loans

Tuesday 7 May 2013

Today we announced that we will be decreasing the interest rate for our variable rate home loans by 0.25% p.a. effective from Monday 13 May 2013. 

On a home loan of $300,000 this change will save our customers around $49 a month.

In the past 12 months, we’ve cut 1.66%* p.a. from our Standard Variable Rate. Which means we’ve put more money back in customers’ pockets than any other major bank. In fact, on a home loan of $300,000, our customers will save around $334 a month.

As Australia’s largest home lender, we’re committed to offering competitive pricing for home loan customers.
