Westpac cuts 1, 2 and 3-year mortgage rates by up to 10 basis points, making similar changes to those already made by ASB and ANZ

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.
