Kiwibank has increased its long-end term deposit rates from between 0.15 and 0.25 per cent. Kiwibank has taken advantage of the change in wholesale curves and passed it on to customers which will assist those seeking longer term investments. It has also reduced some of its shorter term deposit rates and introduced a market leading rate of 3.60%p.a. for six months.
