Bank Australia Variable loan interest rates increase

Photo journal

Bank Australia will increase variable home loan and commercial variable rates in response to the RBA’s recent decision to raise the official cash rate.

On Tuesday 21 November, interest rates will increase by 0.25% for variable owner-occupier and investor loans. Commercial variable rate loans will also increase by 0.25%. For existing home loan customers, repayment changes will be effective from Saturday 6 January 2024.

We are also reviewing rates for savings accounts, and we'll have further updates for customers shortly.

Support options are available for customers experiencing difficultly or for those concerned about the impact of rising interest rates and repayments. We encourage you to contact us to talk about your situation.

Affected home loan customers will receive more information on the changes to their rate and repayments in the coming weeks. For any help and further queries, customers can contact us on 132 888 or visit their nearest branch.
