In the past week, Reliance Bank, People's Choice and Hunter United all cut home loan interest rates, with one cutting by up to 55 basis points.
It was a fairly subdued week for home loan rate changes after some large institutions made changes last week.
St. George also introduced a special LMI offer, reducing the insurance to just $1 for those with a loan-to-value ratio (LVR) up to 85%.
This week, a few member-owned institutions cut home loan interest rates across a variety of home loans for investors and owner-occupiers, across both principal and interest (P&I) and interest-only (IO) payment terms.
