FirstMac released the FightBank II home loan today - a capped rate loan product aimed at borrowers looking for security as rates move higher.
The product includes both a capped option and a pro pack option. It comes with a 6.19% pa variable interest rate capped for 2 years at 7.49% pa, so if interest rates fall, the product rate will also fall. However if rates rise, the product rate won't go above the 7.49% capped rate during the capped rate period. At the end of the capped period the rate rolls over to a variable rate (currently 5.89% pa).
Borrowers can choose to split their loan and enjoy the benefits of both the professional pack and the capped option.
FirstMac Managing Director, Kim Cannon, said: "We are picking up on a rising level of concern from borrowers about the potential for interest rate increases this year and the FightBack II capped rate product should come into its own as the year progresses."
FightBack II follows FightBack which was launched in November 2008 with a 1 year fixed rate mortgage of 2.99%.
