Westpac will increase its standard variable mortgage interest rates for existing customers by 14 basis points on 20 September, with several of its major rivals to lift their rates in coming weeks. However, Westpac will also target new home loan customers, offering rate cuts of up to 110 basis points for the first five years. Customers will then be offered a discount of 80 basis points for the life of their loan. National Australia Bank has yet to announce any changes to its interest rates for existing customers.
