Home loan variable interest rates will increase by 0.25% for owner-occupied, investment and commercial loans, effective 20 May 2026.

From 20 May 2026, deposit rates across the majority of savings products will also increase by 0.25%.

Affected customers will receive more information on the changes to their rate in the coming days.
