ASB is the latest bank to increase fixed rates.
It has increased its fixed home loan rates by between 10-26 bps on its 6-month to three-year terms and has increased term deposit rates by 10-20 bps on its 6-month to two-year terms.
ASB’s Executive General Manager Personal Banking Adam Boyd says “We’re continuing to see volatility in wholesale interest rates, which have climbed over the past month. This has a direct bearing on the rates we offer on lending and deposits, in line with what is happening in markets around the world.”
Westpac raises fixed term interest rates
Westpac has blinked first in the home loan interest rate war, upping its fixed term interest rates for 18 month and 30 month loans.

Westpac has blinked first in the home loan interest rate war, upping its fixed term interest rates for 18 month and 30 month loans.
"As signalled earlier in the month, in the wake of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's view of the likely future course of the Official Cash Rate (OCR), Westpac believes that the current `price war' is not sustainable and that a lead needs to be taken in returning fixed rates to more long-term, sustainable levels," the bank said in a statement.
Westpac's 18 month rate will rise 0.41% to 7.40% per annum while the 30 month rate will go up 0.46% to 7.65%.
Westpac's two-year rate of 7.40% remained unchanged.
The new rates become effective as of 5pm today.
The Bank of New Zealand sparked the price war in October with an `Unbeatable' campaign, which has seen its two-year fixed rate fall to 6.9%, while ASB and ANZ both dropped their two-year rates to 6.95%.
