The ANZ Bank has advised that its ‘floor rate’ for home loan customers will be reduced from 7.25 per cent to 5.5 per cent in response to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority’s recent reforms. ANZ will also increase its sensitivity margin to 2.5 per cent. Rival banks are expected to quickly follow ANZ in reducing their floor rates, which are used to assess a borrower’s ability to repay a loan.
