Kiwibank first to cut rates

It has reduced all home loan rates including 0.50% off its variable rate and 0.36% off its two-year fixed rate. Kiwibank chief executive Sam Knowles said cuts will be a welcome relief to new home buyers and those looking to re-fix their mortgages.

“We appear to have passed the peak of very high interest rates and we now have the opportunity to pass on some genuine savings to home owners.

Kiwibank is taking what it calls “a very aggressive position” in the popular two-year fixed area with an 8.49% special and an 8.39% three-year rate. However, these rates apply for those with 20% or more equity in their property.

The variable rate is now at 9.70%.
