Mortgage Rates Daily Commentary
Thursday 6 August 2026
Taranaki residents plan to try and stop TSB sale - but there's a hitch; ASB hikes rates Taranaki residents unhappy with the plan to sell TSB Bank to Heartland are hoping to file an injunction to stop it next week - but there's a catch. [READ ON]
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.”
Comparing selected banks
Following a week of rate changes we have pulled together a graph comparing pricing strategies.
Friday, March 18th 2016, 10:04AM 
Here we have compared just five lenders who have taken different strategies to pricing their home loans. Also note this is just for standard rates. There are a range of Specials in the market too.
- HSBC - clearly it commands a market leading position in fixed rates, especially when its Specials are considered. However it is the only bank not to move its floating rate.
- Pricing remains in a tight band up to two years, but for longer terms there is greater divergence in pricing.
- SBS - While it often is a market leader, it's current pricing is a tad ordinary.
- ASB - Sharp on the one-year term but starts to look pricey further out the curve.
- BNZ - Continues to be reasonably aggressive compared to its big bank peers.
- Kiwibank - Sharp as usual except for standard two-year rates.
