Today's changes to interest rates

Here are the changes the main banks have made to retail interest rates on Monday, May 25, 2026, so far.

For home loans:

There have been no changes to the top fifteen banks we follow.

For savings accounts:

None here either.

For term deposits:

Westpac has inched up its one year term deposit rate by +5 bps to a level that now matches its two year TD rates, 5.25%. That new 1 year level  matches its main rivals, except Macbank which is on 5.35%.

Greater Bank, and Newcastle Permanent have both increased rates TD rates too. Their new 1 year rate is up +10 bps to 5.35%. Their two year rates is up +25 bps to 4.25%. Their three year, four year, and five year rates are also up +25 bps. But these new levels are still quite uncompetitive, even with the main banks.
