Rate tweaks by NZ's largest bank involve raising five short-term deposit rates but none of these changes are market leading

ANZ has today adjusted four of its term deposit rate offers.

All changes involve increases in interest rates.

None however position ANZ as a market leader in these changed rate positions.

They have raised their 30 and 60 day rates by +20 bps to 3.00%, up from 2.80%.

Their six month rate has been increased by +25 bps to 4.00%, up from 3.75%.

Their nine month rate is now 4.10%, up +10 bps from 4.00%.

And their one year rate has been raised to 4.20%, up +10 bps from 4.10%.

These rate increases appeared on their website this morning.

Their have also made equivalent changes to their term PIE rates.

None of the ANZ rates are as good as the UDC rates. UDC is a wholly owned subsidiary of ANZ.

Earlier today, ANZ raised four home loan rates and reduced one.
