How competitive are CommBank’s home loan rates?
CommBank’s home loan rates are relatively competitive, but much more so when you look at variable rates and less so on fixed rates. Its Digi Home Loan is particularly competitive versus the other major banks and not a million miles of the market leaders for variable rates overall.
Commbank’s fixed rates are generally less competitive, partly because it does not have banded interest rates based on LVR on its fixed rates. It means all borrowers get the same rate, and there’s no rate discount for this with a lower LVR. Other banks do band their rates which means you get lower rates, but generally only for borrowers with a high deposit or high level of equity.

What are CommBank’s lowest home loan rates?
CommBank’s lowest home loan rate is currently available in its Digi Home Loan for owner occupiers. This is a variable rate loan that’s only available online.
If you’re looking for CommBank’s lowest fixed rate loan, that’s currently available on a two-year fixed term for owner occupiers. Just bear in mind, it's not necessarily going to be one of the lowest home loan rates you'll be able to find overall.
