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.

Find a bank that is better

12 Months ago I called them because I was having trouble paying my home loan. I was upset because they had agreed to reduce the rate but before it could take effect they raised the rate again. The best they could do was transfer me to someone who could do nothing but offer to put me thru to the mental health line. 12 months later and rates have risen again and again. Not in line with the normal rate rise but just because they can. So much for giving help when needed. I'm still struggling and holding out until I move at the end of the year and move to a new bank.
