ASB is increasing its variable home loan rates by 25 basis points. Savings on Call and Savings Plus products are also increasing by 15 and 20 basis points, respectively.
ASB’s Executive General Manager Personal Banking Adam Boyd says “Interest rate increases can be difficult for many households. We have also recently reduced some of our long-term fixed home loan terms by up to 30 basis points. We encourage any customers feeling any pressure with their mortgages to get in touch with us early to work through options.
“We also know many customers will be working hard to build their savings, and these increases will help them with their goals.”
