Suncorp makes move on fixed and variable home loans following RBA rate cut
Suncorp officially pulled the trigger on a series of home loan interest rate drops this morning, pushing a few offers below 2.00% in light of the latest Reserve Bank rate cut.
This includes a massive 40 basis points shaved off the 2-year fixed rate of its Suncorp Fixed Home Loan (Home Package Plus) Special Offer, which now sits at 1.89% (2.94% comparison rate*) - the lowest among comparable rates in the Mozo database.
Or if you’re after a slightly longer term, Suncorp’s 3-year fixed rates also fell sharply by 50 basis points today to 1.99% (2.90% comparison rate*).
Note that these rates are only available to borrowers with loan-to-value ratios (LVRs) of up to 80%.
For LVRs between 80-90%, your rate would jump slightly to 2.09% (3.07% comparison rate*) for 2-year terms and 2.19% (3.03% comparison rate*) for 3-year terms.
On the variable rates front, Suncorp went against the grain of many lenders who left their variable rates unchanged and passed on 14 basis points to its customers. This brings the Suncorp Back to Basics variable loan down to a new low of 2.54% (2.55% comparison rate*).
For comparison, that’s a whopping 78 basis points less than the average variable rate in the Mozo database of 3.32%.
