Northern Inland Credit Union introduced a couple of different home loans with an advertised interest rate below 2%, adding to the list of near 40 lenders to have already done so.
For example, the new 'Dream Value' home loan is 1.89% p.a. (2.28% p.a. comparison rate*).
The loan is variable, for owner occupiers paying principal & interest (P&I) with a maximum LVR of 60%, and is offered to new borrowers as a 'special offer' only.
This is one of only a few products under 2% on a variable basi, as many are on a fixed basis instead.

The owner occupier two year fixed loan paying P&I was cut by 14 basis points down to 1.98% p.a. (3.76% p.a. comparison rate*).
For investors, the lowest rate to get a cut was the two year fixed loan paying P&I, cut by 21 basis points down to 2.18% p.a. (3.92% p.a. comparison rate*).
Meanwhile, Hunter United cut a few of its 'No Regrets' home loans by 10 basis points.
For first home buyers, the variable rate is now 2.69% p.a. (2.69% p.a. comparison rate*), and borrowers can have up to 90% LVR.
