The one-year introductory rate for Classic Club loans has risen to 4.79 per cent.
Professional Package rates are now 4.79 per cent for one-year introductory, 4.99 per cent for two years and 5.09 per cent for three years.
The Low Doc Package has risen to 9.59 per cent for two years and 10.29 per cent for three years.
AMP has also increased its SuperEdge SMSF product, with two-year and three-year rates now priced at 5.64 per cent.
Mr Slocombe said fixed rates are reviewed regularly as part of AMP’s normal retail pricing activity.
