Which banks have hiked term deposits and savings accounts in November 2023?
The November 2023 meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) board saw the national cash rate rise by 25 basis points to 4.35% - the thirteenth hike of the current cycle that began in May 2022.
While this could potentially help Australian savers to grow their wealth faster, not all banks and Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) have announced if they’ll be passing on the latest hike to their deposit customers.
For example, it is understood that ING has decided not to pass on the November cash rate increase to its Savings Maximiser customers. And while ANZ has decided to lift the introductory rate on its Online Saver account, this is only applicable for new customers.
Who has hiked savings accounts?
At the time of writing, the following Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) have announced increases to their savings rates following the November 2023 RBA hike:
Bank | Rate increase | Highest rate | Date effective |
NAB | 0.25% | 5% | 17 Nov 2023 |
Westpac | 0.25% | 5% | 17 Nov 2023 |
Commonwealth Bank | 0.25% | 4.9% | 17 Nov 2023 |
ANZ | 0.25% | 4.9% | 17 Nov 2023 |
Macquarie | 0.25% (5.50% introductory rate for 4 months, effective 10th November. New customers only.) | 4.75% | 17 Nov 2023 |
Bankwest | 0.25% | 4.6% | 17 Nov 2023 |
Ubank | 0.10% | 5.1% | 1 Dec 2023 |
Some savings accounts have specific eligibility criteria, such as age restrictions or maximum deposit amounts, which may make them better suited to some savers than others. Remember to compare savings accounts before you consider jumping ship, and keep an eye on RateCity’s Rate Tracker hub for more information on which banks are raising rates for borrowers and savers.

Transport Mutual Credit Union
In a move it described as “a bid to support savers” and “rewarding members for their savings and ongoing loyalty”, Transport Mutual Credit Union announced that all of its standard term deposit rates will increase by 0.20 percentage points from 13th November 2023.
Newcastle Permanent
This customer-owned bank announced that rates on its new term deposit offers are increasing by up to 0.30% p.a., with the new rates taking effect on 17 November 2023.
Greater Bank
Greater Bank announced it will be increasing rates on new term deposit offers by up to 0.30% p.a., and that this change will come into effect on 17 November 2023.
Keep in mind that term deposit customers may need to wait for their existing deposit to reach maturity and roll over before they can consider switching to a higher rate. Comparing term deposits can help you work out which options may offer you the most value, and keep an eye on RateCity’s Rate Tracker hub for more information on which banks are raising rates for borrowers and savers.
