New lending rules for Australian banks
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
Banking regulator APRA has fired warning shots at major lenders this week, following an up-tick in riskier forms of lending as interest rates fall.
From February next year, Australia's banks will soon get new rules that will limit how many "high-risk" large home loans they can issue to customers.
It comes after the total value of new investment loans rose almost 18 per cent to $39.8 billion in the September quarter alone.
