interest rates up

June 9th, 2010 at 01:59 am

I got a letter in the mail from our bank yesterday. The Reserve Bank raised interest rates about a month ago, and now our bank is passing that on to us. Mind you, our payments do not go up until September.

Our new variable rate is 6.91% - and we get a package discount which takes it down to 6.80%.

Our fixed rate is 7.64%.

We have a split loan, part is variable and part is fixed, and the variable portion payments will go up ~$14 a week.

    I don't think we split loans in US. More like a 1st and 2nd trust. Interesting to read how other places do it.

    well, on paper it's two loans.
    so when we log in to view our accounts, there is an account with a balance of -$122000.00 and another with a balance of -$170000.00
