Heritage Bank chief executive John Minz said the interest rate reductions reinforced Heritage's continued focus on delivering the best rates possible for members.
"Heritage's People first philosophy remains the driver for the way we do business," Mr Minz said.

"Reducing the interest rates on our fixed rate home loans is all about making sure our members have access to some of the best deals available in the country."
