Further to the Reserve Bank’s decision yesterday, we are pleased to announce that we are making changes to our variable home loan and business lending rates.
Kiwibank’s General Manager, Home Lending, Nicole Pervan says: “We are responding quickly to the Reserve Bank's changes by lowering our interest rates to help our customers save on mortgages and business lending, making them more affordable. As interest rates decrease, we are seeing signs of increasing confidence and movement in the housing market."
“We are also reducing our mortgage test rate from 8% to 7.5% to provide greater financial flexibility for our customers. This will be effective from Monday, 2 December.”
Further details are below.
