Tracking rates from every major New Zealand lender

The market

The cash rate has fallen from 5.50% to 2.50%. Did your rate follow?

Every OCR announcement eventually works its way into mortgage rates. Rate Wise tracks both daily, so you know when the rate you fixed at stops being a good deal. This chart is drawn live from the announcements we've logged.
