NAB rolls out a series of cuts in its fixed rates for owner-occupiers and investors.

This makes NAB the third major bank to introduce changes to fixed rates outside any movements in the cash rate. CommBank and ANZ have announced their respective rate cuts over the recent weeks, specifically for the rates of three-year fixed terms.

In the context of NAB, however, the changes encompassed all fixed-rate terms, with the three-year fixed rate getting the some of the biggest chop.

Here are some of the major changes in NAB’s fixed-rate offerings:

Outside of the changes in its fixed rate, NAB also made a slight change in its base variable rate for owner-occupiers on special offer, increasing it by 5bps to 5.64% p.a. (5.68% p.a. comparison rate).

This variable rate applies to new owner-occupier loans where the loan to value ratio is less than or equal to 80%.
