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.

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.

I’ve been with Commonwealth for over 30 years. The process of trying to discharge my mortgage has been awful. I have a variable mortgage that I was advised would take 10 business days to process but has so far taken over a month, despite Commonwealth having all necessary documentation, and it still hasn’t occurred yet. After approximately five hours on hold over four separate calls, I was advised on separate occasions it would take 10 days, then 17 days, then 21 days, and today (34 days after I submitted all documents) they still have not arranged a settlement date. Commonwealth’s conduct in deliberately delaying discharges so that customers are subject to their higher interest rates is misleading and deceptive. Commonwealth’s practice of understaffing its loan discharge team so exiting customers are left for hours on hold shows incredibly poor corporate responsibility.

I like that it is well and truly established and nice staff. I dislike how they seem to want to charge the highest interest rate they can and make it difficult to change.

At CBA they over charged my home loan account while I was in Covid deferred time then the account was put into arrears by mistake. Then on top of that they do this random sweep for accounts that are in arrears so they took double payment in the month of February, three days apart and was not my fault. I was contacted by more than 8 different staff members about my arrears amount and none of them new the issue or read the previous persons notes on their system. Altogether they wasted 5 hours of my time on the phone. Only last week they finally sorted arrears amount and I’m still waiting on the second random sweep amount to be sorted out. They don’t contact you with a return number it’s always a private number and they won’t email so it’s hard to return any of their calls. I have never been in arrears or missed payments and during a tough Covid time with financial burdens this problem has not helped but rather left my family and I extremely stressed and worried. Only the last customer service girl seemed to know how to make sense of the issues, one out of 8 or more other untrained staff members. Sorry to be harsh but I’m being honest and hope others don’t suffer like I have.
