Interest rate changes
ME Bank had raised their fixed rates effectively on 26th Nov 2021.
A lot of banks had increased fixed rates since APRA’s announcement on 6th of October to restrict home loan lending due to strong growth in property prices.
ME Bank may increase its fixed rates anytime soon and we advise to apply for a rate lock for a fee of $500.
