flag BNZ lowers one-year fixed home loan rate to 4.49%—New Zealand’s lowest—effective Sept. 29, 2025, to attract borrowers.

flag BNZ has cut its one-year fixed home loan rate to 4.49%, the lowest in New Zealand, effective September 29, 2025, to attract borrowers amid strong demand. flag The rate offers over $2,400 in annual savings on a $500,000 mortgage compared to previous rates and is available to new and existing customers refinancing or switching from variable rates. flag Analysts expect further rate cuts due to weak GDP data and a potential OCR reduction to 2.5% by March 2026. flag The move comes as banks compete with cashback incentives, though challenges remain for first-home buyers facing high rent costs and deposit pressures.
