"Our mission at 86 400 is to help Australians take control of their money and that means reviewing our rates on a regular basis, regardless of what the rest of the market is doing," 86 400's head of lending Melissa Christy told Savings.com.au.

"Our smarter, simpler, digital alternative to home loans will help put more Australians on the financial fast track to property ownership, or give them a better rate on their existing mortgage."

Lenders have been increasing their fixed home loan rates lately, including ANZ, Westpac twice, CommBank, NAB, and Citi, just to name a few. 

This morning, Newcastle Permanent increased some home loan rates by up to 20 basis points.

However, Greater Bank cut in a similar fashion to 86 400 today, cutting interest rates on investment loans fixed between one and three years by up to 30 basis points.
