ME Bank is the latest home-loan provider to offer a mortgage rate below 3%.

ME Bank is the latest home-loan provider to offer a mortgage rate below 3%.

The recent move by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to move the cash rate under 1% has triggered many mortgage lenders to reprice their offers and join the sub-3% trend.

ME Bank decided to readjust its fixed rates, offering as much as a 60-basis point discount.

The bank's lowest fixed rate now sits at 2.88%, which is for a two-year fixed term. This offer is available to owner-occupier borrowers under the Member Package.  Borrowers under the Member Package pay an annual fee of $395.

The biggest cut was for investment home loans with four- and five-year fixed-rate terms on a principal-and-interest-rate payment basis.
