When your mortgage rate will go up

Banks have been quick off the mark announcing when they will pass on the RBA's cash rate increase.

All the majors have said they will pass it on, in full. That is a +25 bps hike to all variable mortgage rates.

They mostly have the same May 15 date their new rates will be effective. But Macquarie will wait another week longer to apply their. Click on the dates in this table to read the bank's notice of change.

  effective
     from
ANZ 15-May-26
Commbank 15-May-26
Macquarie 22-May-26
NAB 15-May-26
Westpac 15-May-26

Because readers of our clever mortgage rate table would want to know what the new rates are going to be, we have made changes to the variable home loan rates now, as soon as we have confirmation when and what will be changed.

At this time, all other banks have only said rate changes are "under review".
