Virgin Money cuts fixed home loan rates ahead of RBA announcement
From today, new home loan customers will be able to lock in some of Virgin Money's lowest fixed rates yet.
New customers who apply for a 3-year fixed Owner Occupied Principal and Interest loan, will enjoy a seriously rewarding rate of 3.39% p.a (3.82% p.a. comparison rate^) – a 30bps reduction.
These new rates give customers the opportunity to lock in some of the lowest home loan interest rates currently in the market.
Virgin Money’s General Manager, Lending, Cards & Deposits, Johnny Lockwood, said: “The 3-year fixed rate is one of the lowest rates currently available and could help borrowers reach their home ownership aspirations sooner by securing their home loan repayments for the next three years. These rates follow softening funding costs in the fixed rate market, which has allowed us to adjust our rates to pass on the savings.
