Expert review
The Community First Bank Fixed Home Loan comes with no annual fees and a 100% offset account. It also provides the convenience of a redraw facility with no minimum redraw amount and the ability to make additional repayments of up to $25,000 per year without attracting a redraw penalty.

It includes handy repayment options with your choice weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments and accommodates those looking for a loan term of up to 30 years.
About this loan
What are the features and benefits of the Community First Bank Fixed Home Loan?
By allowing borrowers to make additional repayments up to $25,000 per year, the Community First Bank Fixed Home Loan accommodates borrowers whose goal is to pay off their mortgage as fast as possible, without slugging them with fees, charges and penalties for trying to get ahead.
Secondly, the Community First Bank Fixed Home Loan provides an unlimited redraw facility with no minimum redraw amount. Again, many fixed home loans do not provide this facility and for those that do, they often include either restrictions or charges for using the facility. This flexibility allows borrowers to better manage their cash flow to ensure life's little surprises are covered if they rear their head at the wrong time.
