Lender loans.com.au has introduced a record low discounted variable rate of 1.99%, available for one year before it reverts to 2.57%.<\/p>\n

The move comes less than one month after\u00a0Tasmanian customer owned bank, Bank of Us introduced fixed rates of 1.99%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With loans.com.au\u2019s new lowest variable rate of 1.99% only available for one year, Canstar has compared the interest paid over the 30 year life of the loan between the new offer and the current lowest variable rate of 2.19%.<\/p>\n

The analysis reveals that taking out the introductory offer of 1.99% would see borrowers with lower monthly repayments for 12 months though it will cost $25,517 more in interest over the life of the loan (assuming the rate differential stays the same).<\/p>\n

Canstar’s finance expert, Steve Mickenbecker said,\u201cjust last month we saw fixed rates crack the 2% barrier, with variable rates now following suit, albeit with an introductory rate that moves higher after 12 months.\u201d<\/p>\n
