NAB group executive of personal banking Gavin Slater said the bank considers a range of factors when making the decision to change interest rates.
“The circumstances of each decision will always vary and we must take into account factors such as competition, regulatory capital requirements and funding costs,” Mr Slater said.
“Today’s decision balances the needs of our home loan customers with our shareholders.”
