Who is CommBank?
Commonwealth Bank is Australia's largest bank and its largest home lender, holding roughly a quarter of the country's mortgage lending, with an owner-occupier loan book in the hundreds of billions. It was founded by the Australian government in 1911 and fully privatised between 1991 and 1996.
CommBank runs the largest branch and ATM network of any Australian bank, around 700 branches, and has extended its commitment to keep all regional branches open until at least 31 July 2027. Its scale shows on the digital side too, with the most-used banking app in the country and a broad product range across every borrower type.
Who suits a CommBank home loan?
CommBank tends to suit borrowers who want maximum branch and service coverage, the full product menu, and the convenience of Australia's biggest banking platform. Scale does not automatically mean the sharpest price though: its advertised rates usually sit above the leaders in our table, so compare its comparison rate against the market before assuming the default choice is the right one.
A verified CommBank product example is Simple Home Loan 70% - 80% LVR Owner Occupied P&I: 6.74% p.a. (6.87% comparison rate), variable, for an owner-occupier principal-and-interest loan at 80% LVR (listed LVR band 70% to 80%), as of 20 October 2026. Across 30 covered listed lenders, the median advertised interest rate of one selected owner-occupier principal-and-interest variable example per lender at 80% LVR is 6.44% p.a., as of 20 October 2026. This describes those selected examples, not the whole market or rates approved for borrowers. WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan.

What is the monthly repayment on a $600,000 CommBank home loan?
For a hypothetical $600,000 principal-and-interest loan over 30 years, keeping this variable interest rate unchanged gives about $3,888 a month before fees. The selected source example is Simple Home Loan 70% - 80% LVR Owner Occupied P&I: 6.74% p.a. (6.87% comparison rate), variable, for an owner-occupier principal-and-interest loan at 80% LVR (listed LVR band 70% to 80%), as of 20 October 2026. Variable rates can change; this calculation does not establish eligibility or approval. WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given.

Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan. The comparison rate displayed is based on a loan of $150,000 over a term of 25 years. Use /calculators/repayment to model your own amount and term.
How much do you need to earn for a $500,000 CommBank home loan?
There is no single salary requirement for a CommBank home loan. The lender assesses income, expenses, debts and repayment capacity. APRA's residential mortgage framework generally requires governed authorised deposit-taking institutions to apply a minimum 3 percentage point buffer above the payable interest rate, ignoring temporary introductory discounts, with prudent limited policy exceptions. This does not establish CommBank's actual assessment rate or approval criteria. Confirm the applicable lender policy and use /calculators/income-required for an illustrative estimate, not approval.
How does CommBank's home loan rate compare to the market?
A verified CommBank product example is Simple Home Loan 70% - 80% LVR Owner Occupied P&I: 6.74% p.a.

How many home loan products does CommBank offer?
Ratesniffers currently tracks 262 CommBank home loan products across variable, fixed and interest-only options for owner-occupiers and investors, and ranks the 44 that pass our data-quality checks on this page. Every rate is checked daily against each lender's current published pricing and ranked by comparison rate, the ASIC-mandated figure that folds in most fees, so the genuinely cheapest loans sit at the top.
Is CommBank competitive for refinancing?
Compare CommBank's available product conditions and total costs with your existing loan. A listed rate does not establish refinance eligibility. Allow for discharge, establishment and any fixed-loan early repayment costs, and confirm applicable lender terms before switching. Compare the table with /home-loans/refinance.
How often are CommBank's home loan rates updated?
Ratesniffers refreshes CommBank's home loan rates daily; this page was last updated 1 November 2026. Rates can change whenever CommBank reprices or the RBA moves the cash rate, so the figures shown reflect the most recent data we hold rather than a static snapshot.
What upfront and exit fees does CommBank charge on a home loan?
CommBank's fee schedule effective September 2026 lists a $600 establishment fee on most unpackaged home loans for an established property purchase or refinance, $300 on the Digi and Simple Home Loans, and a $200 settlement fee. Monthly loan service fees run from $8 to $20 by product, with cuts flagged from 1 October 2026. Discharging or refinancing away costs $350.
Does CommBank lend to self-employed borrowers, and what income evidence does it accept?
Yes. CommBank's guidance for business owners lists personal tax returns for the two most recent years with the latest ATO Notice of Assessment, or an accountant's letter confirming they are lodged and final, plus the business tax return and two consecutive years of profit and loss statements. A simplified verification process may apply if you pay yourself a regular salary.
Does CommBank offer construction loans?
Yes. A CommBank Construction Loan is drawn progressively, with payments released to your builder after each completed stage, and you pay interest only on the amount drawn during the build. Construction must start within 12 months of the contract's disclosure date and finish within 24 months of the first progress payment. Prefabricated homes built off site are also covered.
Does CommBank offer bridging loans?
Yes. A CommBank Bridging loan lets you buy your next home before selling your current one, with a maximum term of 12 months. It is set up as a Standard Variable Rate loan with interest only payments during the bridging period, a $10,000 minimum loan amount and no penalty for repaying early. Availability is subject to eligibility and credit approval.
What are CommBank's home loan rates in November 2026?
CommBank's current home loan rates sit in the live table above, ranked by comparison rate and refreshed from CommBank's published pricing rather than frozen into this answer. Its Digi, Standard Variable Rate, Simple and Fixed Rate loans each price differently by LVR band and purpose, so compare the comparison rate, which folds in the Wealth Package fee where it applies.
Does CommBank offer a fixed rate home loan?
Yes. CommBank's Fixed Rate Home Loan runs for one to five years, allows up to $10,000 of extra repayments a year during the fixed period, and reverts to the Standard Variable Rate at the end of the term unless you refix. An optional Rate Lock holds the reference rate for 90 days for a $750 fee. Current fixed rates are in the table above.
What is the difference between CommBank's Standard Variable Rate and Digi Home Loan?
The Standard Variable Rate is CommBank's full-featured loan: up to 99 Everyday Offset accounts, long interest-only terms and Wealth Package eligibility for a $395 annual fee. The Digi Home Loan is applied for online, comes with one Everyday Offset account, unlimited extra repayments and redraw, and is built for borrowers with a straightforward scenario who want a simpler structure.
Can I get a Commonwealth Bank home loan with a 5% deposit?
Yes, through the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme, where CommBank is a participating lender: eligible first home buyers need a 5% deposit and eligible single parents or legal guardians 2%, on an owner-occupier principal and interest loan with no LMI. Outside the scheme, CommBank offers LMI or its Low Deposit Premium, guarantor support, and LMI waivers from a 10% deposit for doctors, lawyers and accountants whose profession CommBank confirms as eligible.
Does CommBank charge an annual fee on its home loans?
Only if you take the Wealth Package, which costs a non-refundable $395 a year paid in advance and applies to Standard Variable Rate and Fixed Rate loans in return for package discounts and a waived annual fee on one eligible credit card. The Digi Home Loan and Simple Home Loan are not packaged products, so check the comparison rate on each.
Is a CommBank mortgage competitive against the rest of the market?
Not automatically. CommBank is Australia's largest home lender, and its advertised rates usually sit above the sharpest lenders in the Ratesniffers table. The market comparison answer above is computed daily from live data, so use it to see today's gap, then weigh CommBank's branch network, app and offset breadth against the price difference for your loan size.
