ANZ is joining the fixed rate plunge across the mortgage market, taking the axe to its residential and investor rates in the lead up to this month's widely forecast drop in the Reserve Bank cash rate.
The big bank's new lowest fixed rate is 5.39% p.a. (6.67% p.a. comparison rate*) for owner occupiers with 80% or less loan-to-value ratio (LVR) making prinicipal and interest (P&I) repayments and fixing for two years.
The one-year fixed rate for residential borrowers with the same arrangement is 5.49% p.a. (6.84% p.a. comparison rate*).
Here's a look at ANZ's new fixed rates for owner occupiers:
Product | % change | New rate | Comparison rate* |
1 year ≤80% LVR | -0.40 | 5.49% p.a. | 6.84% p.a. |
1 year 80-90% LVR | -0.40 | 5.94% p.a. | 7.06% p.a. |
2 years ≤80% LVR | -0.35 | 5.39% p.a. | 6.67% p.a. |
2 years 80-90% LVR | -0.35 | 5.84% p.a. | 6.92% p.a. |
3 years ≤80% LVR | -0.05 | 5.69% p.a. | 6.62% p.a. |
3 years 80-90% LVR | -0.05 | 6.14% p.a. | 6.89% p.a. |
4 years ≤80% LVR | -0.05 | 5.84% p.a. | 6.57% p.a. |
4 years 80-90% LVR | -0.05 | 6.29% p.a. | 6.86% p.a. |
5 years ≤80% LVR | -0.15 | 5.84% p.a. | 6.49% p.a. |
5 years 80-90% LVR | -0.15 | 6.29% p.a. | 6.79% p.a. |
The new lowest rate for investors is 5.54% p.a. (7.18% p.a. comparison rate*) for those with up to 80% LVR, making P&I repayments, and fixing for two years - a cut of 40 basis points off the old rate.
Rates are higher for all borrowers making interest only repayments.
It's also worth noting ANZ is the only lender to offer fixed rate periods of seven and 10 years, although those rates remain unchanged with a '7' in front across the board.

How do ANZ's new rates stack up?
ANZ is now matching its big bank peer NAB's lowest fixed rate of 5.39% p.a. (see more on big four fixed rates below), but it hasn't gone as far as the lowest rate on the market which now has a '4' in front.
On Wednesday, Bank of Queensland followed Police Bank in offering a 4.99% p.a. fixed rate home loan.
BoQ cut the rate on its fixed home loans to 4.99% p.a. for two-year (5.84% p.a. comparison rate*) and three-year (5.77% p.a. comparison rate*) fixed periods for owner occupiers with up to 90% LVR.
It matched Police Bank's bold move the week before although some of its fixed rate home loan products are only available to serving and retired Australian police and civilian support staff, while others are open to family members and Police Bank members.
How do ANZ's new fixed rates compare with the big four?
ANZ is now offering the same lowest rate as National Australia Bank's 5.39% p.a. (6.30% p.a. comparison rate*) under NAB's current special offer Tailored home loan deal.
However, ANZ doesn't require borrowers to access the rate through a home loan package and offers it to those with up to 80% LVR, while NAB's rate is only open to those with LVRs up to 70%.
See below for the big banks' lowest fixed home loan rates for owner occupiers making P&I repayments:
Bank | Product | Rate | Comparison rate* |
CommBank | 3 years fixed Wealth Package loan | 5.74% p.a. | 7.59% p.a. |
Westpac | ≤70% LVR 2 years fixed package loan (new lending only) | 5.59% p.a. | 6.40% p.a. |
