9News | Banks were quick to pass on rate hikes – just not for savers by 9News

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

After the Reserve Bank of Australia lifted the cash‑rate target to 4.35 %, the four major banks quickly announced higher borrowing costs but have been slower to pass the increase on to savers. So far only Westpac has confirmed a rise, offering a 5.75 % ongoing rate on its Spend & Save account for customers aged 18‑34 who meet monthly bonus conditions, while its base rate remains unchanged for others. AMP already provides a “no‑strings‑attached” rate of 5.10 %, and Macquarie will raise its condition‑free account to 5.00 % from 22 May. The Commonwealth Bank, NAB and ANZ say their savings rates are under review and, based on past behaviour, are likely to pass on only part of the hike or impose strict eligibility criteria. Analysts note that after the March increase, bonus‑linked rates rose modestly (about 0.28 pp) while base rates barely moved, and that delaying or limiting pass‑throughs helps the banks protect profit margins—profits that recently hit a collective $43 billion pre‑tax, placing them among Australia’s most lucrative companies.

Weekly output: tech for creators, Xfinity Mobile plans, how 1Password eyes AI, cheaper NextGen TV tuners

This coming week will not be like the last six and change because my calendar has me sleeping in my own bed every night. That is an exciting prospect after a string of trips that took me to Austin, L.A., Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, San Jose and Las Vegas… but this workweek isn’t free of travel, as I’m taking a day trip to NYC for Uber’s Go-Get press event Wednesday.

4/21/2026: Out and About with Jefferson and Jules, NAB Show

I went to the National Association of Broadcasters’ conference for the first time since 2015 for about the same reason as that previous trip: speaking on a panel. This one featured my former USA Today colleague Jefferson Graham and travel journalist Juliana Broste (the last name rhymes with “frosty”) talking about the tools they use to take and share photos and videos from interesting places. Having two people well-versed in speaking on camera on the same stage made my job as a panel moderator easy.

4/22/2026: Comcast Adds 2 Premium Xfinity Mobile Plans With Global Roaming Included, PCMag

This post was kind of a disaster, in that Comcast’s embargoed press release left out important details about these new plans and then my PR contact provided also-unhelpful answers to my questions. After seeing the details of these plans Wednesday morning, I rewrote a large chunk of the post from the United lounge at LAS before boarding my flight out of Vegas.

4/23/2026: 1Password sees AI as both threat and tool, Fast Company

I interviewed 1Password’s new chief technology officer Nancy Wang in the speaker lounge at HumanX in San Francisco as that room was getting closed down at the end of that conference. I did not write up the interview that night, as I was meeting an old friend for dinner, and then did not get around to writing the story on the flight home.

4/24/2026: NextGen TV Backers Aim to Advance the Standard With Cheaper Converter Boxes, PCMag

I returned to the topic of this upgrade to broadcast TV (also known as “ATSC 3.0”) for the first time since 2024 (I think) to cover an initiative aired at NAB to lower the cost of watching NextGen TV broadcasts on sets without compatible tuners. Most new TVs still fall under that description, which is not something I would have predicted four years ago.

Coolest tech I found at #NAB today — 8-channel TV tuner ATSC 3.0 card from SiliconDust; for control over PCIe uses an RP2350 (4x UARTs)z

Got to talk to Nick Kelsey (President/CTO) about it!
