ANZ joins rivals in rates rise
ANZ Bank has increased its home loan interest rates, becoming the last of the major banks to pass on this week's rise in official rates.
The bank says it will increase interest rates for a range of key deposit and lending products by 25 basis points following Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) 25 basis point rise in interest rates to 6.0 per cent this week.
Effective Monday, the interest rate on ANZ's standard variable rate home loan will increase to 7.82 per cent for new and existing customers.
ANZ's other variable rate mortgage products will also increase by 25 basis points effective from Monday.
Money Saver rates lift to 7.22 per cent, Equity Manager to 7.82 per cent and Home Equity to 8.32 per cent.
"This is the second increase in official rates this year which inevitably places additional pressure on household budgets," ANZ group managing director personal Brian Hartzer said.
