Bankwest has today cut its two year fixed rate home loan to 5.49 per cent p.a. (comparison rate of 7.38%) in anticipation of a sharp reduction to the official cash rate next week.
According to the WA based bank, the fixed rate loan is the most competitive in the market beating its nearest rival by 50 basis points. Bankwest also reduced its one year fixed rate home loan to 5.99 per cent p.a. (comparison rate of 7.65.)
