Westpac has been forced to remove an animated video on its website comparing its interest rate rise to the cost of bananas.

A spokeswoman for the bank said: “Following the feedback we have received today we have removed the video from our customer information site on the rate change.”

The video was originally created for staff to help understand the changes in the economic environment as a consequence of the global financial crisis.

Westpac then made the decision to send the Banana video out in an email to customers on Monday. It followed the bank’s move to lift its standard variable mortgage rate by 45 basis points last week – nearly double the Reserve Bank’s 25-basis-point increase earlier that same day.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says Westpac should take “a long hard look at itself” after the bank tried to explain its 45 basis point interest rate rise with an animated video about bananas.

The voice over in the video tells the story of when a storm damaged crops, diminishing the supply of bananas, the price of the fruit went up which in turn meant that the cost of a banana smoothie had to go up by 50 cents
