Not surprisingly many of these same banks were making far less noise when they held back from passing on the full 0.25% p.a. rate cut announced by the RBA in July 2019. (i.e. total 0.50% rate cut over 2 months).

The predictions of many of Australia’s Senior Economists were confirmed this afternoon as the Reserve Bank voted to reduce the Official Cash Rate yet again to an amazingly low 1.00%.

The Federal Treasurer (Josh Frydenberg) has already commenced his efforts to encourage the banks to pass on this additional 0.25% p.a. rate cut in full.

Is your bank charging you more than they need to ???
