The changes include packaged and non-packaged home loans for owner occupiers, paying principal & interest (P&I):

  • Tailored Fixed 3 Years: Up 10 basis points to 2.28% p.a. (4.07% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Tailored Fixed 4 Years: Up 25 basis points to 2.59% p.a. (4.01% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Tailored Fixed 5 Years: Up 30 basis points to 2.89% p.a. (3.99% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Choice Package 3 Years: Up 10 basis points to 2.18% p.a. (3.88% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Choice Package 4 Years: Up 25 basis points to 2.49% p.a. (3.85% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Choice Package 5 Years: Up 30 basis points to 2.79% p.a. (3.87% p.a. comparison rate*)

These rates apply to new lending with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 95%. 

This marks at least the third time in 2021 NAB has increased fixed mortgage rates, after it did so back in May and June.

Previously, the three and four-year packaged loans were some of the first of the big four banks' to be cut below the 2% threshold. 

Experts have said this is because of a hangover from the Reserve Bank's Term Funding Facility, with 'normal' funding expected to return in the next few months.

This also comes after the prudential regulator mandated banks cut their reliance on the 'Committed Liquidity Facility' (CLF) by the end of 2022.

The CLF is a Reserve Bank-led facility that provides funds in periods of liquidity stress.

NAB reportedly has $31 billion in 'fallback' funds in the CLF.
