flag Australian banks only partially passed rate hikes to savers, raising bonus rates while keeping base rates low.

flag Australian banks have only partially passed on recent interest rate hikes to savers, raising bonus rates on high-interest accounts while keeping base rates largely unchanged. flag Canstar analysis shows that while the Reserve Bank of Australia raised rates, the maximum rates on bonus accounts increased significantly, but base rates only rose by 0.42 percentage points. flag This selective pass-through helps banks maintain strong net interest margins, and while smaller banks are offering higher rates, most standard savings accounts at the big four remain under 2%. flag Experts warn savers must carefully review terms to access the best deals.
