HSBC pushes discounted promotional offers

Australia's 10th-largest mortgage lender reduced some rates by 10 basis points as part of a promotion.

However, new customers not taking advantage of promotional products could expect to see higher rates than a week ago, on a few fixed-rate products:

  • Residential Fixed 1 year <80% LVR: 50 basis point increase to 6.59% p.a. (7.25% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Home Loan Package Owner Occupier Fixed 3 years 80%-90% LVR: 20 basis point increase to 6.29% p.a. (6.62% p.a. comparison rate*)

A host of customer-owned banks also repriced primarily fixed-rate mortgages this week.
