Following the lead of fellow big-four bank CommBank, NAB's fixed rate increase applies to a number of residential and investment options across both principal and interest (P&I) and interest-only (IO) home loans. 

Across NAB's home loan portfolio, these increases included:

  • Choice Package Tailored Fixed - P&I 2 Years 150k+: 20 basis point increase to 2.89% p.a. (4.14% p.a. comparison rate*).
  • Choice Package Tailored Fixed - P&I 3 Years 150k+: 20 basis point increase to 3.34% p.a. (4.17% p.a. comparison rate*).
  • Choice Package Tailored Fixed - P&I 4 Years 150k+: 20 basis point increase to 3.54% p.a. (4.20% p.a. comparison rate*).
  • Investment Tailored Fixed - IO 2 Years: 20 basis point increase to 3.19% p.a. (4.72% p.a. comparison rate*).
  • Investment Tailored Fixed - P&I 3 Years: 15 basis point increase to 3.64% p.a. (4.65% p.a. comparison rate*). 

The four-year fixed Choice Package is 156 basis points higher than it was in November 2020.

Adding 1.56 percentage points to a $400,000 30-year home loan could mean $331 per month in extra interest paid.

Previously, NAB's raised fixed interest rates across its home loan portfolio by up to 50 basis points in December.

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.
