Interest Rate Rises and Refinancing

Interest rate increases have been well documented in the media with the RBA increasing the cash rate by another 0.50% on Tuesday. When rates increase, your current home loan can become an older product and you may find you don’t have a competitive rate anymore.

However, with increased rates comes opportunity to take a pulse check on your current loans.

Banks are constantly trying the get customers to refinance, so they often have special rates and cash back bonus’s. It is important to look at your current interest rates every 1-2 years an see if there are any better loans out there.

Curerntly we are still seeing variable rates as low as 3.2%

Some current cash back offers are:
