‍Compare New Zealand Mortgage Rates

‍Grabbing the right interest rate can literally save you tens of thousands of dollars over the life of your loan. To make things easy, we track the latest fixed and floating rates across New Zealand’s major lenders right here.

(And because the market moves fast, you'll always see exactly when each bank's rates was last updated in the 'updated' column).

It is 100% free to view and compare rates with no mandatory sign-ups, logins, or hidden data capture.

1. Getting the lay of the land
  • Picking a term: Have a look across the columns (from 6 months out to 5 years). It's a great way to see how banks are pricing short-term versus long-term money right now.
  • Special vs. Standard Rates: You'll notice most banks advertise a lower "Special" rate. To qualify for this discount, you usually need a 20% deposit (or equity) and to have your wages paid into a day-to-day account with them.
  • Floating Rates: These sit a bit higher than fixed rates, but they give you ultimate flexibility. They're perfect if you're using an offset account, or if you want to make big lump-sum payments without getting hit with penalty fees.
2. How Advertised Rates Work in Reality
  • Carded vs. Negotiated: The rates you see here are the banks' officially advertised (or "carded") rates that apply to borrowers with a 20%+ deposit. But depending on your deposit and financial setup, there can be room for us to negotiate a better deal behind the scenes.
  • Why we can't show our best rates: Bank rules strictly prohibit us from publishing their discounted rates we negotiate for our clients online. The only way to unlock those unadvertised rates is to have a chat with us directly!
  • Cashbacks: Banks also love to compete for your business by offering cash incentives (cashbacks) to help cover your lawyer or moving costs. We negotiate these for you, too.

Next Step: Let us do the heavy lifting

‍Seeing a great rate is just the starting point. Send a quick message to a Home Loan Factory adviser, and we will leverage our bank relationships to negotiate the sharpest possible rate and cashback package for your specific situation.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions About NZ Mortgage Rates

Question 1: Why are bank 'Special' mortgage rates lower than 'Standard' rates?

Banks love low-risk lending, so they offer a discounted 'Special' rate to reward borrowers who meet certain criteria. Usually, this just means you have at least 20% equity in your property and you agree to have your primary income paid into a transaction account with them.

Question 2: Should I choose a short-term or long-term fixed interest rate?

There is no single right answer here—it really comes down to your budget and your peace of mind! Short-term rates (like 6 to 12 months) offer great flexibility if you think rates might drop soon. Long-term rates (like 3 to 5 years) give you total payment certainty, protecting you from future rate hikes, though you might end up paying a bit more if market rates fall.

Question 3: Why can't I see your best discounted rates on this table?

It's a bit frustrating, but strict bank advertising policies mean mortgage advisers aren't allowed to publicly publish the heavily discounted rates we negotiate behind closed doors. The rates you see here are the standard 'carded' rates available to the general public. To unlock the real, unadvertised discounts, you just need to speak directly with one of our advisers.

Question 4: What is a cash contribution or cashback?

Think of it as a welcome bonus! When you buy a new home or move your mortgage to a different bank, lenders will often offer a lump sum of cash to win your business. It’s paid into your account upon settlement and is a huge help for covering legal fees or moving costs. Just keep in mind they usually come with a 'clawback period'—meaning you need to stay with that bank for 3 or 4 years, or you might have to pay some of it back.

Question 5: I found a great rate on the table—what is my next step?

Use the table to get a feel for the market, and you can use these in your calcualtions in our Home Loan Calculator. But remember these advertised rates are just a guide. To confirm you qualify for a specific rate—and to see if we can negotiate an even better interest rate or cashback package for you—get in touch with a Home Loan Factory adviser for a free chat.
