ASB Lowers Variable Rates For Personal, Business And Rural Customers
Wednesday, 19 February 2025, 2:35 pm Press Release: ASB Bank
ASB is dropping variable interest rates across personal,
business and rural lending by 0.50%, passing on today’s
Official Cash Rate (OCR) cut in full.
ASB’s
Executive General Manager Personal Banking Adam Boyd says,
“In the past six months, we’ve reduced our variable
rates by nearly 2%, and we’re pleased to be passing on
today’s OCR cut to all customers who hold a floating loan
with us. We dropped rates on a number of our fixed home loan
terms last week and we have highly competitive rates on the
six, 12- and 18-month terms which are currently the most
popular amongst our customers.”
The OCR decrease is
also being reflected in some of ASB’s savings rates.
Savings On Call will move to 1.15% while ASB’s youth
account, Headstart and its bonus saver account Savings Plus
will both shift to 3.15%.
“An easing interest rate
cycle can mean different things for home or business owners
and savers. Our teams are here to support any customers who
want to discuss their options.”
