NAB playing catch up to Westpac in mortgages 1 February 2010
Westpac reported growth in its home loan portfolio of 1.6 per cent for the month and compared with growth in home lending, across all banks, of 1.0 per cent. The bank’s mortgage book increased 5.0 per cent over the December 2009 quarter compared with banking system growth of 3.3 per cent.

National Australia Bank, playing catch up in the home loan segment, underperformed in December with growth of only 0.6 per cent, though above average growth in lending in October and November means NAB ranked second over the December quarter for growth in home loans.
