June RBA hold: which banks have increased home loan rates

The Reserve Bank Australia has held the cash rate at 4.35%.

With each change to the cash rate last year, lenders raised or lowered their variable home loan rates in kind. Many economists still expect at least one rate cut by the end of the year, so it remains to be seen whether providers will hold steady until then or begin cutting early. We'll also keep an eye out in case any savings and term deposit rates change during this part of the cycle.
