Lender rate changes vs the cash rate

An RBA cash-rate change does not automatically change every home loan by the same amount. Your lender determines whether, when and by how much your loan rate changes. Enter the rate change that applies to your loan.

Commercial lenders set variable interest rates independently based on their funding costs and commercial strategy. When the cash rate changes, lenders may pass on all, some or none of the adjustment, with effective dates and subsequent repayment adjustments governed by each lender's loan terms and billing cycles.
