IMB Bank passes on RBA rate cut in full, lowers two-year fixed home loan rate to under 5%

August 13, 2025

IMB Bank will lower its variable home loan interest rates by 0.25% following yesterday’s decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia to lower the cash rate.  

In addition, IMB reduced the interest rate on its two-year Fixed Rate Home Loan for Owner Occupiers to 4.99%p.a. for new loans.

IMB Bank Chief Executive Officer, Robert Ryan, said “Our announcement to pass on the rate cut in full reflects our commitment to delivering value and supporting our members.” 

Mr Ryan added, “We are pleased to be able to maintain some of the most competitive home loan interest rates in Australia. We hope this latest reduction will further ease cost-of-living pressures for our members, however, we encourage any borrowers who may still be facing financial strain to contact us for support.”

IMB Bank’s rate reductions for existing variable rate home loan borrowers, and new fixed rate home loan borrowers, become effective on August 26.
