Jonathan ChancellorNovember 14, 2011

Westpac’s regional banks have made further cuts to their fixed-rate loans.

St George, BankSA and Bank of Melbourne have cut rates up to 26 basis points.

The cut takes the two-year fixed rate to 6.14%, and the three-year fixed rate to 6.24% for all three banks.

The new rates take effect from November 16.

St George's new general manager of mortgage broking, Clive Kirkpatrick, told Broker News Australia the bank had recorded strong demand for fixed-rate products.
