Westpac has cut its one, two and three-year "special" mortgage rates by 10, 6 and 9 basis points respectively.
The cuts match all the changes ANZ made on Wednesday, and the changes ASB made last Thursday to its 1 and 2-year rates.
ASB’s three-year rate of 4.79% remains a market leader.
Westpac's changes, which come into effect today (June 22), are as follows:
Term | Old rate | Movement | New rate |
1 Year Fixed Special | 4.39% | -10bps | 4.29% |
2 Year Fixed Special | 4.55% | -6bps | 4.49% |
3 Year Fixed Special | 4.94% | -9bps | 4.85% |
At 4.29%, Westpac, ANZ and ASB's one-year rate is 10 basis points above HSBC’s market-leading rate of 4.19%.
Meanwhile, at 4.49%, their two-year rate is 20 basis points above HSBC’s 4.29% rate.
To be eligible for Westpac's "specials" borrowers require at least 20% equity, and need to credit their salaries to a Westpac transaction account.
Westpac's "standard" 1, 2 and 3-year rates are 4.99%, 5.05%, and 5.44%.
Here is the full snapshot of the advertised fixed-term rates on offer from the key retail banks.
