BNZ gives some begrudging increases for term deposit terms from 4 to 12 months, none of which are market leading

BNZ is the latest bank to raise term deposit rates.

This morning all terms from 4 months to one year have had increases.

Four and five month rates have risen to 3.65%, up +15 bps from 3.50%.

The six month rate is now 4.10%, up +10 bps from 4.00%.

Between 190 and 269 days, the rate is 3.80%.

But at nine months the rate is 4.20%, up +20 bps from 4.00%.

And at one year BNZ's new rate is 4.30%, up +5 bps from 4.25%.

These rises apply to BNZ's regular term deposits that pay interest at maturity as well as their monthly interest option.

However, none of today's changes are market-leading.

Wholesale rates rose overnight and there are market expectations of more rises ahead of the next RBNZ OCR review.
