The CBA-owned lender said its home loan variable interest rates remain some of the most competitive in the market.

The move by Bankwest follows yesterday’s 20-basis-point rate hike from ME.

All four major banks have raised their variable rates. Westpac moved first with a 20-basis-point rate hike announced on 14 October.

CBA followed with a 15-basis-point rate rise across its variable mortgages, NAB with a 17-basis-point rise and ANZ with an 18-basis-point increase.
