On Thursday Tasmania-based Bank of Us cut its 'FlexiDiscount' one-year fixed-rate home loan by 20 basis points.

For owner occupier borrowers with 80% LVR, the advertised rate is now 1.59% p.a. (2.43% p.a. comparison rate*).

This is a limited time offer for Tasmanian residents only, open to new lending through 10 December.

This matches Greater Bank's lowest advertised rate announced just over a week ago.

However, Greater Bank's home loan rate is fixed for two years, and features a slightly lower comparison rate.

Bank of Us also reduced its variable FlexiDiscount offer for owner occupiers by 10 basis points down to 2.09% p.a. (2.11% p.a. comparison rate*).

Some other customer-owned banks adjusted home loan rates in the past week.

  • Your Way P&I Fixed 4 Years: Up 20 basis points to 2.49% p.a. (3.73% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Your Way P&I Fixed 5 Years: Up 20 basis points to 2.94% p.a. (3.79% p.a. comparison rate*)

Important Information and Comparison Rate Warning

Base criteria of: a $400,000 loan amount, variable, fixed, principal and interest (P&I) home loans with an LVR (loan-to-value) ratio of at least 80%. However, the ‘Compare Home Loans’ table allows for calculations to be made on variables as selected and input by the user. Some products will be marked as promoted, featured or sponsored and may appear prominently in the tables regardless of their attributes. All products will list the LVR with the product and rate which are clearly published on the product provider’s website. Monthly repayments, once the base criteria are altered by the user, will be based on the selected products’ advertised rates and determined by the loan amount, repayment type, loan term and LVR as input by the user/you. *The Comparison rate is based on a $150,000 loan over 25 years. Warning: this comparison rate is true only for this example and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
