Australian Bank Watch Changes

December 28, 2008 · Filed Under Interest Rates · Comment 

Welcome back!

I have made some minor changes to the Australian Bank Watch site.  You will note on the left hand sidebar I have expanded the selection of variable home loan rates to include a number of leading Australian banks outside of the top 4.

I have also added the cash rates for the US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of England, Bank of Japan and Reserve Bank of New Zealand.  These complement the existing Reserve Bank of Australia cash rate that is also displayed.  This will help visitors more quickly make a comparison between global central bank interest rates.

I have importantly added a date for when the interest rates were last revised.  This should only be used as a guide and the interest rates should always be checked on the bank website which I have links attached for ease of navigation. 

It is difficult to keep up to date with all the interest rate changes and they are quite liquid at the moment so I thought it wise to revisit the date I last updated.  I will revise these on average once a month but also will update upon any Reserve Bank rate decision.

I have also expanded the links to a number of additional banks that were not previously listed and links to the major central banks.

I hope you find the changes of use and please direct any feedback or things you thing Australian Bank Watch should include to wes@ausbankwatch.com

Happy New Year!
