Auswide cuts rates for investors

The non-major bank reduced its two-year fixed rate by 25 basis points to 4.19 per cent, and its three-year fixed rate by 20 basis points to 4.19 per cent.

Auswide has also introduced a new discount variable rate of 4.29 per cent for loans used to purchase, construct or refinance homes for investment purposes.

The rates apply to new investment home loans of $150,000 or more with a maximum LVR of 90 per cent for approved applicants.

Auswide managing director Martin Barrett said the bank’s investment loans include a 100 per cent offset account and online redraw facility, “even on these low fixed rates”.
