IMB Bank announces interest rate changes - June 2023

June 14, 2023

Following the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest increase to the official cash rate, we are announcing changes to interest rates on some of our products.

The adjustments include an increase to our existing variable home loan interest rates by 0.25% p.a#, effective from 20 June 2023. We have also lifted rates on several of our savings accounts, which will come into effect on 22 June 2023.

  • 12-month Term Deposit rate to increase by 0.20% to 4.60%*
  • Reward Saver and Reward Saver Kick Start introductory bonus rate (for new accounts) to increase by 0.25%, earn up to 5.00%^
  • Zoo account bonus interest rate to increase by 0.50% to 3.90%, total rate 4.00%+
  • Business Cash Management account and retail Cash Management account1 to increase by up to 0.30%.

IMB Bank Chief Executive Robert Ryan recognised that the continued increases in rates will impact borrowers with home loans. “Our home loans remain very competitive in the market and the majority of our customers are managing the current economic challenges. But if any of our members are experiencing concerns regarding their repayments and loan commitments, please contact our team on 133 462 to discuss a range of relief measures that may be put in place,” he said.

Variable rate borrowers will be notified of their new repayment amount in their June statement, with the new repayment amount payable from September 2023.

Any customers who wish to contact our team to discuss their options, please call us on 133 462.
