Superbank launches its version of capped rates
Thursday 4 November 2004

It is similar to Westpac’s capped rate loans, including the promise that if wholesale interest rates start falling then so will the rate Superbank charges for the new product.Superbank is charging 7.49% on its product compared with Westpac’s capped rates which range from 7.95% for one year to 8.05% for three years, Westpac’s 8.6% floating rate and the other major banks’ floating rates of 8.5%.
