  • 2 Year Fixed - 2.14% P&I - (4.12% comparison)
  • 3 Year Fixed - 2.14% P&I - (3.97% comparison)

The deal is not yet up on CBA's website, but has been announced on AFR - https://www.afr.com/companies/financial-services/cba-cuts-ra…

Product fees:

  • $200 settlement fee
  • $395 annual fee

LOAN BASE CASHBACK

In addition to the CBA rate, we are offering a $1k upfront cashback for utilised lending larger than $750k (excluding offset and redraw) for any fixed term loan of 2 years or more.

PRODUCT SWITCH

If you're currently with CBA, we can easily switch you over to one of these deals without needing to go through the hoops at CBA (unfortunately we cannot provide a cashback in this instance)

HOW TO APPLY

You can go direct to CBA, but they'll probably be swamped.

Alternatively, as a premium online broker, we offer a completely free service and advice. Please reach out to one of our two senior brokers to discuss the above deal and other offers we may have available. If you are going to e-mail, please cc in both brokers to receive the most timely service as we are extremely busy at present.

Due to unprecedented interest and to be fair to the clients already in queue for application lodgement, we are generally only able to assist clients with lending larger than $500k excluding offset and redraw. Feel free to PM me if you fall below this threshold as we may be able to assist on an exception basis.

  • This cashback offer is only available for applications submitted onwards from November 4th 2020.

Comparison Rates

Any quoted comparison rate is only true for the example given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, loan amounts or fees may result in a different comparison rate. Comparison rates are based on a loan amount of $150,000 over a loan term of 25 years.

Note that comparison rates can be misleading depending on your loan size, as the assumed $150k loan size means that fees have an outsized impact on the comparison rate calculation. This is why we include a "true rate" in the solution proposal we provide you with, as this factors in your actual total lending instead of the arbitrary $150k. Comparison rates also assume that the revert rate (in the case of fixed loans) will be the actual rate you remain on upon fixed expiry, where usually we would negotiate a new fixed term or variable rate discount with your lender on your behalf.

      appears to be…for a bank to want to lock loans at 1.99% for 4 years could mean - % will go down further.

      • wouldyou on 04/11/2020 - 13:48

        interest rates will probs go into the neg. They wouldn't be offering 4 years fixed if they didn't think rates would drop further.

      Hi countmein, yeah unfortunately it looks like we're in for a long-drawn out economic recovery.

      The RBA board confirmed yesterday that they are not expecting to increase the cash rate for at least three years, so we're likely in for an extended period of low interest rates.

    • nnishant on 04/11/2020 - 16:49

      Maybe RBA and CBA think Trump will win the US election….lets lock everyone up for 4 years

  • reddead2067 on 04/11/2020 - 10:16

    Have CBA also cut their fixed investment loan rates?

      Hi reddead2067, unfortunately CBA hasn't announced any changes to their investment or interest only fixed rates at all; looks like this might just be a reduction to their owner-occupied and commercial/business rates.

  • tightm8 on 04/11/2020 - 10:21

    That 4 year rate looks bloody attractive.

    • Busabot on 04/11/2020 - 12:53

      6 months back we all found 2.19 to be a bloody attractive rate.

      • RocketSwitch on 04/11/2020 - 13:09

        Yeah, I wouldn't jump to this in a hurry.

      • tightm8 on 04/11/2020 - 13:14

        2.19 is still a good rate, not many 'big four' banks offer anything near that as a variable for lvr 80%

  • CyberMurning on 04/11/2020 - 10:21

    how about investment?

    • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 04/11/2020 - 10:26

      No changes to CBA's investment rates announced, unfortunately - however before yesterday's rate cut, we were generally able to obtain 2.49% pa P&I fixed and 2.69% pa IO fixed for good quality loans via pricing requests with CBA. With yesterday's rate cut factored in, we may now be able to obtain lower discretionary pricing in the coming days and weeks.

      Alternatively, we have a 2.39% P&I and 2.59% IO fixed rate available with $4k cashback through Citibank - please let us know if you have any questions or would like to talk to one of our brokers.

  • Queue2Queue on 04/11/2020 - 10:27

    Any word on their variable rate?

    • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 04/11/2020 - 10:29

      I believe that CBA decided not to change their standard variable rate in response to the rba rate cut yesterday - and just reduce their fixed and business lending rates instead.

  • PeppaCat on 04/11/2020 - 10:28

    how about variable? no interest rate cut?

    • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 04/11/2020 - 10:29

      Correct; no standard variable rate cut unfortunately.

    • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 04/11/2020 - 10:32

      Hi bccwjj1, I can assure you this is not an error; our accredited brokers all received an email from CBA this morning confirming the following:

      Commonwealth Bank is announcing its lowest ever Fixed Rate home loan as well as significant cuts to a number of business loans in response to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) package of further measures to support job creation and the recovery of the Australian economy from the pandemic.

      Today Commonwealth Bank is announcing:

      100 bps reduction to 1.99% p.a. on new 4 year Fixed Rate home loans for Owner Occupiers paying Principal and Interest in the Wealth Package. This is CBA’s lowest ever advertised home loan rate;

      That means there'll be better fish out there.

  • CustardShot on 04/11/2020 - 10:33

    Is there information on how much extra you can pay onto your loan per year? The usual amount is 10k.

    • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 04/11/2020 - 10:35

      Hi CustardShot, that's correct, please see below for confirmation from the CBA website:

      You can make up to $10,000 in additional repayments per fixed-term year, except for Interest in Advance loans. Your fixed-term year starts from the date that your Fixed Rate period began, and renews on the same date each year, until your fixed term ends. If you don’t make $10,000 in additional repayments, the remaining amount does not roll over to the next year.

      —

      What we usually suggest for clients wishing to pay more than $10k pa in additional repayments is to split their loan, so that the bulk of the lending is fixed at the lower rate, and a smaller portion is variable with 100% offset. This way you can direct all surplus funds into your 100% offset account or variable rate loan without penalty and essentially get the best of both worlds.

      Please let us know if you'd like to discuss this any further.

  • chaino on 04/11/2020 - 10:37

    I currently fixed with cba for 2.98%. Can you guys help me get the 1.99% fixed rate?

    • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 04/11/2020 - 10:39

      Hi chaino,

      We'd be happy to help you switch to the 1.99% fixed rate, but CBA would unfortunately likely charge you an early repayment fee for breaking your existing fixed term early - best to contact them to confirm how much this would cost you. We can then work out whether it's worth your while breaking early and switching now, or just waiting until your fixed term expires naturally before looking at alternative options.

    • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 04/11/2020 - 11:22

      Hi sonu1111, best to contact CBA directly to confirm this ASAP; I believe in some circumstances they may have a cooling off period that would apply, but am honestly not sure, sorry.

  • [Deactivated] on 04/11/2020 - 11:07

    Is this a good deal compared to other deals out there?

    I'm with CBA banking, so it would be a lot easier for approval to stay with CBA for a home loan.

    They also have a really appealing credit card, which I was going to push to get the fees waived and I know a broker that works for the bank directly.

    Just wonder how much lower rates will go in the next month or two.

    • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 04/11/2020 - 11:19

      Hard to say, Adelv - since the RBA only cut the cash rate yesterday and most lenders are yet to respond to this, I'd say it's probably worth waiting a little while longer for the dust to settle and check what the best option from there is. For now, however, 1.99% pa fixed is quite a competitive rate - particularly from one of the big 4 banks.

    • tunzafun001 on 04/11/2020 - 13:17

      Appealing credit card…CBA??? You sure?

      Westpac Black is one of the recent ones that is by miles better! I'm on a CBA package..can get a free card..but they are rubbish.

      As for rates, RBA are 0.1.. I guess only 0 or negative from here. Some of the 0.15 drop will filter through, but the RBA impact is only a fraction of the big picture.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/11/2020 - 15:28

        I found one that has no international transaction fees, one of the rewards cards but it had a monthly fee.

        • tunzafun001 on 04/11/2020 - 19:54

          Citibank, HSBC, Bankwest all have cards with no international fees and no ongoing fees. Debit cards though I guess. HSBC credit card is free of you spend a minimum amount.

  • skooter on 04/11/2020 - 11:25

    Sooo, the 1.99%/4 years is only if you've got the wealth package, right? So an extra fee of $395/year. Without wealth package I'm assuming it'd be 2.14%

    • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 04/11/2020 - 11:26

      Hi skooter, yes the advertised rates are only on the $395 pa package - I believe all of the majors reserve their most competitive fixed rates for their package products only.

      • skooter on 04/11/2020 - 11:34

        Is the non-wealth package rate going from 2.99 to 2.14%?

        For us the difference between 2.14 and 1.99 is ~$14/month, so wealth package is obviously not worth it unless we had one of their $250+ credit cards

    • bnh on 04/11/2020 - 11:35

    Those comparison rates are shocking!

    • Whatisthatvelvet on 04/11/2020 - 16:38

      I've learnt not to look to much at the comparison rate generally. It's taking into consideration if you had the loan over 25 years.
      Just do your homework and due diligence.

      • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 04/11/2020 - 16:46

        Yeha agreed - it's also based on a $150k loan amount and assumes that you don't re-fix or negotiate your rate after the fixed term ends (just revert to whatever variable rate the lender automatically places you on after your fixed rate expires). Really not a useful tool for comparing loans, in my opinion.

  • rabid_monkey on 04/11/2020 - 19:18

  • Mikay89 on 17/11/2020 - 14:25

    Just looking at the offer on CBA's website including the other info, there is no offset account with this deal or any other P&I loan options… does this mean CBA is scrapping the offset account on new loans?

    • bnh on 17/11/2020 - 16:47

      Dont think fixed home loan ever had full offset option.

    • Store RepLoan Base @ Loan Base on 17/11/2020 - 17:39
