Newcastle Permanent Lifts Interest Rates On Home Loans By 0.25% Following RBA Announcement











(PRWEB) November 4, 2010

The Hunter’s No. 1 home lender, Newcastle Permanent Building Society announced today that it will only be increasing its variable mortgage rates by 0.25% per annum, in line with the Reserve Bank’s latest increase in official interest rates.

The increase for variable rate home loans will be effective on Monday, 8 November 2010 with new repayments for existing borrowers to apply from January 2011.

Newcastle Permanent CEO Terry Millett said Newcastle Permanent, as a mutual organisation with no shareholders, is committed to providing its members with highly competitive home loans.

“We have helped more people in Newcastle and the Hunter with their home loan than any other financial institution in Australia, including all the major banks.”

“We encourage anyone who is angry with their bank to vote with their feet and switch to Newcastle Permanent. When you have your home loan with Newcastle Permanent you not only get one of the best home loan interest rates, you are also helping us to support your local community, not shareholders.”

“After this latest increase our multi-award winning Real Deal home loan will be just 6.97% p.a. for both new and existing members.”
