10 Mar 2020
Macquarie Bank has jumped on board the rate cut train and dropped variable and fixed mortgage rates by a full 25 basis points.
Along with 36 other lenders in the Mozo database, Macquarie announced that it would pass on the full rate cut following the RBA’s decision to drop the official cash rate to an historic low of 0.50%.
Notably, the bank is now fashioning shiny new variable rates starting at 2.84% on its Basic Home Loan for owner occupiers, making principal and interest repayments.
The rate cut is effective today for new customers, however, existing Macquarie customers will need to wait a little longer to reap the benefits as the new rates aren’t effective until the 19th March, 2020 for them.
