Kiwibank Rate Changes
We are making changes to our Term Deposit and Fixed Home Loan rates effective Monday 25th September.
We regularly review our interest rates to ensure we are balancing our lending and deposit rates so all our customers are receiving a fair deal. With these changes we are making sure we offer competitive rates in the terms that are most popular with our customers.
With this change, our 1 year term continues to be the leading home loan rate across the major banks. We will also have the leading rates in the 6 month and 1 year term deposits.
