With the new rates, ANZ offers its customers $59 of average savings, while CBA and NAB both offer $45 in savings per month.
Westpac’s new rates will see you saving $47 per month.
But while the big four may have reduced their rates, Finder’s Cooke still thinks some small-lenders are offering better rates.
In fact, there’s a 46 basis point difference between the lowest rate in the market and the lowest rate from the big four, which could save you a whopping $35,000 per year over a 30 year loan on the average mortgage.
“It’s time to shine for smaller lenders. In a post-Royal Commission market, some borrowers might well be open to breaking up with the Big Four,” Cooke said.
“Last month a couple of lenders broke the mould with sub-3 per cent fixed loans. This month we’re already seeing this extend in the variable home loan space with Reduce Home Loans leading the pack with a never-before-seen 2.89 per cent rate.”
