The OCR dropped 25 basis points again yesterday - but many homeowners have wondered why their mortgage rates haven't followed.
Many people currently on floating rates have yet to see the impact of the cuts materialise, and there's usually a week-long delay OCR changing and banks following suit with their various mortgage rates.
Kent Duston from the Banking Reform Coalition says it's unclear why it takes the banks so long to adjust things.
"After all, it's no harder than just hitting the return key on the keyboard. Really, there's no reason why it should not happen on the exact same day that the Reserve Bank lowers the OCR."

New independent research conducted by Talbot Mills reveals only one in three parents have established rules around their kids' social media usage.
While the overwhelming majority of New Zealanders believe parents should decide when young people can start using social media, there is also support for intervention and increased education.
Make Sense co-founder Holly Brooker says many parents are struggling to keep up with evolving technology.
"It's hard to implement that across many different platforms and devices - and often, parents aren't actually that aware of what their kids are doing online."

US President Donald Trump today forged ahead with tariffs of 125 percent against Chinese goods - escalating the US-China trade war.
Trump’s sweeping tariffs have unsettled the global economy since coming into force over the weekend, and China has vowed to fight back with tariffs of their own.
Mahon China Investment Management CEO David Mahon says China won't blink first in the stand-off.
"Trump's already blinked on all the other tariffs that he flung at countries quite randomly, so I don't think this is an economic argument. Reciprocal tariffs are another form of self-injury."

Going, going - almost gone.
MPs from all parties other than ACT are shutting down the Treaty Principles Bill today, with passionate displays of rhetoric.
It's been called, 'embarrassing', 'grubby', and a 'stain on our country' during the debate.
Architect of the failed Bill, David Seymour, says he'd be happy to push for a Treaty referendum in future coalition negotiations.
"That is absolutely a possibility, we wouldn't rule that out. But sooner or later, the logic of this bill is going to prevail."

Trump's tariff backdown proves that Nicola was right and Barbara was wrong.
Willis took the cool, calm, collected approach. Take advice, watch closely, don't react with haste, don't spook the horses even more. Trump's already doing that.
Barbara Edmonds and Labour were hitting the panic alarm - firing off a press release yesterday saying that this is a crisis and that we need to up spending. Borrow more. Bigger Government will save the day. Which is nuts. Premature and nuts.
Barbara came on this show last night and said Willis was sitting on her hands while the world crumbled around her.
Earlier in the week, Hipkins said we needed to stand up to Trump a bit more - how's that working out for China?
The last thing we need is self-serving politicians, or former politicians in the form of Phil Goff, grandstanding for their bash-the-bully-moment on television.
This is the time for quiet diplomacy. It's time for your Winstons' and Rosemary Banks types - she's our Ambassador to Washington - get them out there.
The bigger problem for Labour and the way they've reacted so far is that it reminds us why we didn't like them in the first place.
When Covid hit they doled out the cash. They couldn't give it away fast enough. Grant spent from the country's purse like a housewife on holiday.
And Barb - she wants her time with the Visa. Right when our Government debt is about to hit 46 percent of GDP - remember, it was 20 percent pre-Labour - and right when we're getting closer to at least balancing the Government books.
This is a timely reminder from Labour that their fundamentals haven't changed.
When a crisis comes, when storm clouds gather, their go-to plan is to make it rain cash.

But the US President's hiked them for China - to 125 percent.
Scott Shellady says 75 countries are reportedly seeking an audience with the President.
"The 90 day pause is so he can get through the backlog of countries that said they want to do a deal."
