The Reserve Bank of Australia has increased the official cash rate by 25 basis points, taking it from 4.35% to 4.60% following its September 2026 monetary policy meeting.
The latest rate movement is important for Australian homeowners, property investors and prospective buyers. Changes to the cash rate can influence the interest rates offered by banks and other lenders, particularly for variable-rate home loans.
For borrowers with a variable home loan, an increase in interest rates may result in higher monthly repayments if their lender passes on the rate increase. It may also affect borrowing capacity for people planning to purchase a home or investment property.
This makes it a useful time for borrowers to review their existing mortgage. Comparing your current interest rate, loan features and repayments with other available options may help you understand whether your existing loan continues to suit your financial circumstances.
