ANZ continues to review other interest and deposit rates.<\/p>\n<p>Acting Group Executive Australia Retail, Bruce Rush said: \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to reduce our variable home loan rates at a time when a number of homeowners still need some extra breathing room. As we pass on further rate relief to our customers, some will use it to help take the pressure off their everyday expenses, while others will take the opportunity to keep their existing repayments and get ahead on their home loan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last few years Australians have met uncertainty with resilience \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean the pressure has eased for everyone.
