6 May 2021 UPDATED

Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation is making changes to personal loan and staff credit card interest rates effective Thursday 6 May, 2021.

The rate changes are as follows:

  • Decrease Car Loan interest rate by 110 basis points (bps) from 5.99% to 4.89%
  • Decrease Standard Personal Loan – fixed interest rate by 100bps from 8.99% to 7.99%

These changes are coming in to maintain the best interests of our customers overall. Our interest rate changes are implemented to ensure good pricing benefits for depositors and borrowers.

As a customer-owned bank, Heritage Finance Holdings puts the best interest of members first. Unlike the big listed banks, we only aim to make a modest profit each year and then reinvest those funds into providing better products and services to all members. None of our profits are paid out to shareholders like the big listed banks.
