Westpac increased its one-year rate by 21 basis points to 6.20% after it increased its six-month and two-year rate earlier in the week.
Public Trust increased its two-year rate by 24 basis points to 6.99% which is still below the median rate for non-bank lenders and AMP Home Loans also made increases with its one-year fixed rate also leaping up by 30 basis points for both its standard and priority products.
