Today's changes to interest rates

Here are the changes the main banks have made to retail interest rates, for Wednesday, May 13, 2026

For home loans:

Bank Australia has rejigged its home loan offerings, dropping the "Clean Energy" loan branding and replacing it with both a "New Build" category and a "Renovate" category. Both the new rates are available either on a variable or three year fixed basis. This change doesn't involve different rates for the "New Build" option, but the "Renovate" option comes with a +10 bps rate increase.

We are expecting the Big Four banks to activate their +25 bps rate hike following the last RBA decision, tomorrow. They will all be across the board for variable rates.

For savings accounts:

Suncorp has raised its Growth Saver rates by +25 bps today, adding +5 bps to the base rate and +20 bps to the bonus rate. That now makes their potential rate 5.05%.

Suncorp has raised its Kids Savings rate by +25 bps, all for the bonus criteria, and taking the new rate to 4.30%.

For term deposits:

No changes to report today.
