Big banks cut rates as rival lenders steal borrowers
Mozo
11 Apr 2019
CommBank, Westpac and NAB are cutting their fixed home loan rates in a bid to stem the rising tide of borrowers switching to rival lenders. However, borrowers are being warned not to jump headfirst into fixing, as the big banks are still a long way from being the most competitive in the market.
In fact, the banks are responding to increased competition from rival lenders who have introduced new ultra low rate variable and fixed home loans in recent weeks that are proving extremely popular with savvy borrowers in search of better value.
Mozo Director Kirsty Lamont said, "Now is a great time for borrowers to be in the market for a home loan or refinancing to a better deal, but if you really want to lock in a big saving, looking beyond the big four banks is still your best bet."
With variable rates plunging below 3.50%, it's little wonder borrowers are snapping these deals up. So if you'd like to crush your mortgage in 2019, take a look at some of the top rates currently on the market and see how much you could save.
