Westpac borrowers leaving in protest 6 January 2010
Westpac mortgage customers are lining up to leave the bank and take their business elsewhere says Australia’s largest mortgage broking group.A “large proportion” of AFG’s business in December was Westpac customers looking to switch to a cheaper mortgage elsewhere said the broking group.Westpac raised interest rates on its standard variable mortgage products by 0.20 per cent above the Reserve Bank’s official rate change in early December.The numbers of Westpac customers looking switch pushed refinancing to a 12 month high in December and caused Commonwealth Bank to displace Westpac as the number one lender according to AFG.''There are people who are fed up with Westpac and are making a stance,'' said AFG sales manager Mark Hewitt.''Normally people think it's not worth their while to move for 20 points because rates could change again, but in this case people are making a protest. It's hard to switch banks, but when you feel strongly about something you tend to endure a bit of pain to get your point across.”
