flag TSB Bank lowers two-year fixed home loan rate to 4.49%, the lowest in New Zealand, to boost affordability amid economic challenges.

flag TSB Bank has lowered its two-year fixed home loan rate to 4.49%—the lowest among major New Zealand banks—aimed at easing housing affordability and rising living costs. flag The promotional rate, part of the bank’s 175th anniversary, requires a 20% deposit and is available to new and existing customers with support via multiple channels. flag While most fixed rates remain at 4.75%, this move reflects shifting market dynamics following a recent RBNZ rate cut and weak GDP growth, with expectations of further cuts. flag Early repayment fees may apply, and lending criteria vary for investment properties. flag Borrowers are advised to compare total costs, including fees and cashback, as break fees could rise in a falling rate environment.
