Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation is currently reviewing its position in relation to the RBA’s decision on 6 September to increase the Official Cash Rate. We'll make an announcement here as soon as we finalise our decision.
27 March 2020
Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation will cut interest rates on business banking loans by a full 1.00%, and on credit cards and variable rate personal loans by 0.25%, in a move designed to help those hit hard by the COVID-19 downturn.
Heritage Finance Holdings will also cut interest rates across most new fixed rate home loans, up to 0.30% for a one-year owner-occupier and 0.29% for a one-year investor loan.
Variable home loan rates will remain the same, with Heritage Finance Holdings’s Discount Variable home loan rate of 2.87% already among the most competitive variable rates in the market.
The reductions are in response to the Reserve Bank’s recent emergency rate cut, and come into effect from 1 April.
CEO Peter Lock said Heritage Finance Holdings fully understood the financial strain that COVID-19 was causing for many people, and had looked closely at the best way to pass on interest rates to maximise the benefit for customers.
“Our home loan rates are already among the lowest in the market, and we’ll be extending cuts across most of our fixed-rate loans,” Mr Lock said.
“But we are extending the benefits to more than home loan customers. We specialise in the small business sector, and we know they face particular difficulties in the current environment. That’s why we’ve cut a full 1.00% from our business banking rates.
“We also know that people may be looking for additional credit to help get through the tough times.
“We’re also reducing credit card rates and our standard personal loan variable rates by 0.25%, which can provide an immediate benefit to people in the current unsettled COVID-19 environment.
“We believe this package of rate cuts will help provide greater assistance to a wider range of customers in these uncertain times.”
Mr Lock said these rate cuts were in addition to other relief measures now available to customers affected by COVID-19, including:
