Commonwealth Bank home loans

Chances are you already know the Commonwealth Bank - the yellow and gold bank with a CAN-do attitude. But did you know they have roots dating back in Australia to 1912 - yep CommBank is no spring chicken! Today it’s one of Australia’s big four banks, with over 1,100 branches and 4,300 ATMs all over the country. So if you want to take out a home loan with an established bank that’s certainly not going anywhere anytime soon - you may just have found your perfect match here.

Fixed Rate Home Loans

There are a couple of fixed rate home loan options on offer from the Commonwealth Bank, depending on whether you’re an owner occupier or an investor. Fixed rate loans are available for amounts beginning at $10,000 and LVRs up to 95% for owner occupiers or 90% for investors. You’ll pay both a monthly service fee and an upfront application fee, so make sure you balance that out by cashing in on the flexible features, like fee free extra repayments up to the value of $10,000 p.a. and the ability to choose between weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments.

Variable Rate Home Loans

CommBank offers a range of variable rate home loan options for homebuyers with an LVR of up to 95%, looking to borrow amounts starting at $10,000. Like the fixed rate alternative, you’ll pay a monthly and upfront fee on a CommBank standard variable rate home loan - but in return, you can enjoy a host of flexible, money saving features. This includes unlimited fee free extra repayments, unlimited free redraws both online and over the counter and the full use of an offset account. Don’t like the look of those fees? There’s also an option with no application fees, although you won’t have the use of an offset account with this choice.

A great bank with an even better App!

CBA has an excellent phone app which makes everyday banking as well as some of the less usual tasks (like home loan adjustments etc) so much easier! You can also track your spending in categories like home, food & travel etc.

Call for a discount

Always willing to negotiate when I call re home loan rate so that's always good, although it would be better if you were just automatically on the lesser rate.
