How we picked these
CommBank mortgage features
CommBank has a range of mortgages for many types of borrowers. It offers loans for first home buyers, investors, those looking to refinance, and those who want to access their existing home equity.
Feature
Details
Deposit size
You can borrow up to 95% with some CommBank mortgages, including some very competitive rates. But many rates require larger deposits, so look carefully at each loan's LVR.
Offset account?
Some CommBank loans come with 100% offset accounts, but not all of them do so check carefully before applying.
CommBank's package home loans offer discounted mortgage rates and fee waivers on the loan and a credit card.
Our expert says
"I’ve been with CommBank for four years. When I was looking for my first home loan in Australia, I initially considered smaller lenders with lower rates and didn’t even think of my existing bank. However, after spending an hour on hold with a smaller lender, I decided to give CommBank a call and never looked back. They assigned a direct contact who I could call anytime and offered a significant discount on their variable rate. It was a surprisingly straightforward process and better value than expected."
The following information is general in nature and applies to most home loans. There may be specific criteria that apply for this lender.
Age. You must be over 18 years of age.
Residency. You should be a resident of Australia.
Employment. You should have a regular source of income.
Documents required
When you apply for a mortgage with CommBank you are required to provide certain information so make sure you have all your documents ready before you apply. The documents you will be expected to provide are:
📄 Property details. You can start a loan enquiry before you've bought a property. But to complete an application you need the address of the property and a signed contract of sale.
📄 Identification documents. You will need identification such as a driver's licence, passport or birth certificate.
📄 Proof of income documents. Recent payslips can establish your income.
📄 Asset and liability documents. You need to provide documents showing your current assets (savings accounts, investments) and liabilities (your outstanding debt).
To make sure you find the right CommBank loan, you need a clear idea of what you're looking for in a mortgage. These simple questions can help:
Do you want help from an actual person? Because CommBank has a large network of physical branches, you can talk to staff in person when you need home loan help. This is something online lenders and smaller banks may not be able to do.
What do you need the loan for? If you're buying a home to live in, you need an owner-occupier loan. Property investors need an investment loan rate. CommBank has both.
Fixed or variable? Do you want the flexibility of a variable rate loan that could rise or fall at any time? Or are you happy to lock in a fixed rate for a certain period so you can forget about rate changes? With CommBank, you can choose either or both with a split rate.
What features do you need? You need to decide whether you need features like a 100% offset account, the ability to make extra repayments and the option to split your rate.
CommBank offers conditional pre-approval and you can apply online, by phone or via appointment with a lending specialist at a branch.
Home loan pre-approval is an optional step in the application process that some lenders offer. Pre-approval means a lender has examined your savings, income and spending habits and has a rough idea of how much it could lend you. It's not the same as full loan approval and it's no guarantee that the lender will ultimately approve a full application. But it does allow borrowers to start looking for a home with more confidence and a clearer idea of their borrowing power.
Most Australian borrowers bank with one of the Big Four (Commbank, Westpac, NAB and ANZ). They have physical branches and ATMs in most locations and strong customer support. These are big advantages.
But if you're worried that smaller lenders are unsafe or less reliable, you probably shouldn't. In Australia, most lenders are authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) and are regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). Almost every lender has a banking licence or partners with a bank.
There's an assumption that interest rates from the Big Four are less competitive than smaller lenders. And while this is broadly true, the gap has shrunk dramatically in recent years. You can get a very good deal from lenders large and small.
Deciding between a fixed or variable rate depends on what you want from the loan. A variable rate loan can change at any time, either up or down. A variable rate usually offers more flexibility in how fast you can repay the loan and the cost of refinancing.
A fixed rate loan offers total certainty about your rate, for the fixed period. This means it won't rise, costing you more. But if your lender starts lowering rates you won't benefit either. Refinancing a fixed rate loan means breaking the loan, because you've agreed to a specific rate. This means you may have to pay a fixed rate break fee.
Mortgage brokers are home loan professionals who can help you find a suitable loan. A broker typically charges you no fee, because they receive a commission from your lender. Brokers are great if you are short on time or find the whole process of researching and applying for a home loan confusing. But you can definitely do it yourself and find a good loan. You may even find a better deal. That's because brokers don't compare loans from every lender in the market. They have access to a panel of loans and often don't have smaller online lenders in their panel.

What is Finder Score?
The Finder Score crunches 7,000 home loans across 120+ lenders. It takes into account the product's interest rate, fees and features, as well as the type of loan eg investor, variable, fixed rate - this gives you a simple score out of 10.
To provide a Score, we compare like-for-like loans. So if you're comparing the best home loans for cashback, you can see how each home loan stacks up against other home loans with the same borrower type, rate type and repayment type. We also take into consideration the amount of cashback offered when calculating the Score so you can tell if it's really worth it.

Having a guarantor may be able to help your daughter secure a lower rate from some lenders. She can compare home loans with guarantor options here.
Consulting a mortgage broker is also advisable to help her find the right finance option.

Hi,
I am just wanting to know if Commonwealth allow a split family pledge? I have found a property I wish to buy and my parents and my parents in law would like to share the guarantee against the property, rather than putting the full amount up on their own. Is this possible? I have no other loans or credit cards, stable employment and a good credit history.
Thanks

Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.

Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
