In previous months, banks have wasted no time in heartily increasing term deposit rates following a Reserve Bank cash rate rise.
Now some rate weariness could be setting in, with only a select few banks increasing term deposit rates since Tuesday's decision.
Macquarie Bank
Macquarie Bank on Wednesday increased its two, three, four, and five year rates by 50 basis points.
With a minimum deposit of $5,000 and interest payable annually, the rates are now 4.05% p.a. for two-and-three year terms, and 4.10% p.a. for four-and-five year terms.
Judo Bank
On Friday Judo Bank three and six month term deposit rates for those looking for a shorter-term savings avenue.
With interest payable at maturity and with a minimum deposit of $1,000, the interest rates are now 2.25% p.a. and 2.80% p.a. respectively.
MyState Bank
The Tasmanian-based bank and 11th largest customer-owned bank in terms of assets moved rates by up to 95 basis points on Thursday.
For example, the six month rate was boosted by this amount to 2.70% p.a.
Minimum deposit is $5,000 and interest is payable at maturity.
The 12 month rate for comparison is 3.60% p.a.
