Suncorp, QBank make cuts to home loan rates

Following the news of a fall in the unemployment rate and a slight lift in inflation, the RBA is now widely-expected to hold rates steady, rather than cut. 

Two Queensland-based finance stalwarts were among the few Australian home loan lenders cutting home loan interest rates this week. 

Suncorp

Suncorp made cuts to a variety of home loan products, including loans for investors and owner occupiers, including both interest only (IO) and principal and interest (P&I) loans. 

Owner Occupiers

• Back to Basics OO IO 150k+: An 81 basis point cut to 3.03% p.a. (3.04% p.a. comparison rate*)
• Home Package Plus Variable OO IO 90% (Special Offer): A 55 basis point cut to 3.29% p.a. (3.65% p.a. comparison rate*)
• Home Package Plus First Home Buyer Variable <90% LVR: A 55 basis point cut to 3.29% p.a. (3.30% p.a. comparison rate*)

Investors

• Home Package Plus Package Investment Variable IO 90%: A 10 basis point cut to 4.87% p.a. (4.96% p.a. comparison rate*)

Be aware that 'Special Offer' rates may be withdrawn at any time. 

QBank

Q Bank made cuts to two of its home loan products:

• Residential Fixed <95% LVR 3 yrs: A five basis point cut to 2.89% p.a. (3.75% p.a. comparison rate*)
• Fixed Investor <90% LVR 3 yrs: A five basis point cut to 3.14% p.a. (4.12% p.a. comparison rate*)
