February 2025 interest rates

Tuesday, 18 February 2025

We’ve reviewed our interest rates following the RBA’s announcement.

 

Following the RBA’s decision on Tuesday to decrease the Official Cash Rate by 0.25% from 4.35% to 4.10% Newcastle Permanent will pass on the full rate cut, effective 7 March 2025.

 

We know that many of our borrowing customers have been eagerly awaiting news out of the RBA today, and hope this change brings local households some relief.

 

We will directly contact variable home loan customers with their new minimum repayment details by email or letter and this change will be reflected in their banking app once it takes effect. Customers wishing to reduce their repayments can easily do so via our banking apps, by calling us or by visiting one of our branches.

 

We encourage any customers with questions to visit a branch or reach out to our contact centre on 13 19 87.

 

*Rates are subject to change without prior notice.

Home loan repayment FAQs

There are several options for setting up your home loan repayments, depending on your financial goals and circumstances. You can also choose to repay your loan weekly, fortnightly or monthly to suit your budget.

  • Automated repayments: You can easily set up automatic repayments for all principal & interest (P&I) loans via the app or internet banking. Any changes to your minimum repayment amount will automatically adjust and you can choose to add an additional amount to your repayment if you would like to pay more each month.
  • Fixed or nominated amount: All other set transfer types will need to be manually updated or adjusted via the app, internet banking, by giving us a call or visiting a branch.

If you have transfers set up from another financial institution, you’ll need to contact them to update your payment or check your current transfer amount.

You can now set up repayments for eligible home loan types and we'll automatically adjust the minimum loan repayment amount for you if it changes.
