National drops fixed rate home loans - 26 March 2001

Monday, 26 March 2001

The National Australia Bank has announced a reduction in fixed interest rate home loans, effective from Monday 26 March 2001.

The new rates are as follows:

1 year 6.39% (previously 6.79%)
2 year 6.39% (previously 6.79%)
3 year 6.29% (previously 6.49%)
4 year 6.59% (previously 6.99%)
5 year 6.59% (previously 6.99%)
10 year 7.69% (remains the same)

Mr Ken Hodgson, the National's General Manager, Retail Financial Services, said the decision to lower fixed rate home loans gives home buyers greater buying power coming into autumn which is traditionally a popular home buying period.

"Our three year fixed rate loan represents outstanding value for home buyers and it's a term for which we have seen consistent demand," Mr Hodgson said.
