Macquarie Bank is already signalling it will pass on the Reserve Bank’s latest interest rate increase in full to home-loan customers, while also lifting savings rates by the same amount. The reporting says this approach is likely to influence other major lenders.
Multiple outlets describe expectations that other big banks will follow Macquarie’s example, applying similar pricing changes to mortgage rates rather than absorbing the cost. The core point across coverage is that borrowers face higher loan repayments following the central bank decision, while savers are offered comparable increases to deposit interest. The articles do not present a single confirmed timetable for every lender, but they frame Macquarie’s stance as a reference point for how quickly and evenly the broader banking sector may adjust rates.
