To further support savers, ASB has today also announced increases to term deposit rates across the board, with its 18-month term rate to increase to a market leading 4.00%.
“Today’s increases to savings deposit rates are good news for customers and we hope the changes will help them get closer to their financial goals,” says ASB’s Executive General Manager Personal Banking Adam Boyd.
ASB’s Housing Variable rate will move from 5.85% to 6.35% while the ORBIT home loan rate will move from 5.95% to 6.45%.
