Kiwibank has now raised its home loan rates, the latest in a steady stream of banks changing rates.

This is the bank's second rate rise in two weeks.

It last raised rates on January 9, 2017 and that change included the hiking of its floating rate.

Since January 9, wholesale swap rates have fallen -1 bp for a one year term, risen +2 bps for two years, risen +4 bps for 3 years, and risen +5 bps for five years. In that same time, credit spreads have narrowed slightly.

Here is a way to see both changes from Kiwibank:

These changes from Kiwibank are more about positioning against its rivals than wholesale funding pressures.

There were no Kiwibank term deposit rates announced with Monday's change.

ASB has also raised mortgage rates. We have reported those separately, but ASB's new rates are in the table below. ASB also raised some selected term deposit rates.

Today's changes don't alter who has the leading carded rates for mortgage borrowers. SBS Bank has joined HSBC Premier to lead for a one year term, TSB Bank has the market-leading offers for 3 and 5 year terms with HSBC.
