Key notes:

  • P&I=Principal and Interest, IO=Interest Only, OO=Owner Occupier.
  • Basis points explained: 1 basis point = 0.01% point of  an interest rate (e.g. 3.00% p.a. cut by 25 basis points to 2.75% p.a.) 
  • Advertised rates: The “new lowest advertised variable rates” listed for each lender excludes introductory & honeymoon rates and package rates. Rates are correct at the time of the last update to this page. Lowest rates will only be listed if they are new (i.e. the rate became that lender’s lowest rate after some or all of the RBA’s March cash rate cut were passed on) and currently available.
