June RBA rate hike: Which banks have increased home loan rates?

Last Updated: 10:20 am 14 June 2022

This month, the Reserve Bank announced another cash rate hike – this time by 50 basis points to 0.85%.

We have already seen several banks pass on the previous rate hike to their customers with many increasing their variable rate home loans by at least 0.25%. With rate increases across the board, we also said goodbye to the last fixed rate loans starting with a ‘1’ in late May. 

While the RBA cash rate tends to affect variable home loan rates, we are seeing an increase in fixed interest rates, too. Before today's announcement, big banks like CommBank and ANZ had already increased their fixed rates.

Many homeowners might have already seen their home loan repayments go up in the last couple of weeks. However, that’s just the beginning. Chances are that this will not be the last increase we’ll see, as Westpac predicts that rates will go up to 1.75% by the end of the year.

Just like last month, responses from banks and lenders will vary and you might expect some to announce their new rates quicker than others. 

To help you keep track, this page will regularly be updated with significant changes from major and minor lenders as they come in, including the size of the hike and when it’ll go into effect.
