Last week it was BNZ which hiked its 18 month home loan rates. Today Westpac follows suits with 10 basis point increases to its 18 month and four year terms. While they are increases they are small and they are in two of the least popular fixed term rates. It looks like they are softening borrowers up for future increases.
