Yahoo Finance NAB, CBA, ANZ, Westpac: More banks pass on rate hike to Aussie borrowers - but when will it hit?
It is not likely to just be the Big Four banks increasing interest rates as the cash rate jumps a 13th time.
Australia's biggest lenders have started passing on interest rate hikes to borrowers after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) again hiked the cash rate.
National Australia Bank (NAB) was the first to make the call after an eerie extended silence yesterday (usually interest hikes are announced within hours of the RBA call), and it hasn't taken long for Westpac and ANZ to follow.
Of the big four banks, which all correctly predicted a 0.25 per cent hike, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) was the last to pass on the rate hike.
It appears there's no reprieve for Australians already fighting rising energy costs, grocery bills and housing affordability - as they are going to cop the interest rate hikes in full. But this could be a positive for savers.
Scroll down to see when the changes are coming into effect, and potentially which bank could have a better deal.

NAB changes
NAB's standard variable home loan interest rate will increase by 0.25 per cent, from November 17.

ANZ Plus Save account by 0.25 per cent, bringing rates for those with balances less than $250,000 to increase to 4.90 per cent, and balances $250,000 or more to increase to 3.75 per cent from November 16.
Last week it became the latest - and probably highest-profile - lender to hike fixed mortgage rates, reversing a move to cut its 1- and 3-year fixed rates by up to 30 basis points six weeks ago.
Rates went up by more than one rate move - 25 basis points - but not by much more at a maximum of 35 basis points.
Key clue to broader outlook: ANZ did this on all of its 1- to 5-year terms, indicating that the institution believes rates will now stay higher for longer.

Here are the fixed rate moves from October, according to Mozo:
