Heritage Bank cuts variable home loan interest rates
In light of recent interest rate hikes by the Big 4 Banks and some smaller lenders, Heritage Bank has announced that it will cut rates on several of its variable home loans effective from 5 November 2015.
The bank revealed that its special Discount Variable home loan rate will fall to 3.98% and several cuts have also been made on its Home Advantage Variable package available on loans from $150,000.
Both home loan products have been reduced by 10 bps.

Heritage Bank’s head of third party channels, David Ure, said the rate cuts are another reason for prospective homeowners to look beyond the big banks.
“We are all about delivering great value for our customers and we are committed to offering low rates that are among the best in the marketplace,” he said.
“These offers deliver on that commitment, especially given what’s happening in the wider market.”
If you’ve been stung by the recent interest rate hikes it may be time to get a better deal on your home loan. Find the best rates in the market using our comparison tool or head on over to our Refinance Hub for helpful tips and tricks to make the switch.
