CommBank offers a selection of personal loans, including Fixed Rate Loans, Variable Rate Loans, Secured Car Loans and Personal Overdrafts. The maximum loan amount for both fixed and personal rate loans are $50,000, with interest rates. The interest rate for both fixed and variable rate loans is usually 8.50% p.a. to 20.50% p.a. Interest rates for car loans are usually lower than for a personal loan, as the car will be used as security. There will also be additional fees and charges, including establishment fees and a recurring monthly loan service fee ($0 and $15 respectively for personal loans).
Fixed Rate Personal Loan. Borrow $4,000 to $50,000 for a fixed interest rate, keeping your repayments the same for the whole loan term. CommBank can provide same-day funding for borrowers so that they can receive money when they need it most.
Variable Rate Personal Loan. Like the Fixed Rate Loan, you can borrow between $4,000 and $50,000 with the Variable Rate Loan. You can receive your approved funds on the same day you apply. The variable interest rate and payment schedule make this a good option for people who require flexibility. Borrowers may also redraw repayments that have already been made. The representative rate of interest is 13.50% p.a. with a comparison rate of 14.37% p.a.
Personal Overdrafts. These loans allow you to rest easy knowing that funds will be available should they need them. Customers can avoid declined transactions and no fees are charged if the overdraft is not in use.
Secured Car Loan. This loan allows borrowers to take out money for the purpose of purchasing a new or used car that is less than five years old. Customers may borrow amounts from $4,000 with a fixed interest rate and repayment schedule for the duration of the loan. Interest rates on this type of loan are lower than those of Personal Loans because the car is used as security.
Note: At least half of the customers receive the representative rate or lower. However, it may not be the actual rate you receive. The representative rate is the standard variable rate or the reference rate. Your interest rate may be different and is based on a number of factors like the information you provide and the assessment of your application. Your interest rate will be confirmed in your loan offer document.
What other products does CommBank offer?
Bank accounts. CommBank offers a number of different bank accounts for personal and business use. Customers can choose from transaction accounts which are used regularly, saving accounts which have higher variable interest and term deposit accounts which have a fixed rate of return.
Home loans. In addition to its selection of personal loans, CommBank also offers different options for home buyers and property investors.
Credit cards. Whether customers are looking for low interest rates, low annual fees, high rewards or something to suit a small business, CommBank has several different credit cards to choose from.
Youth and student services. Savings accounts for kids, loans for students and first credit cards for young adults are some of the many options that CommBank has to offer its younger customers.

Could I use gold or my car as a collateral for securing a personal loan?
What is the minimum income that has to be shown to get a secured loan?
Finder
SarahJune 27, 2024Finder
Yes, you may be able to provide your car as collateral, provided it’s not currently secured against another personal loan.
The minimum income depends on a range of other factors. The lender wants to ensure you can repay the loan based on your current income, debts, expenses and employment security. Your best bet is to contact CBA and explain your situation, so you can see what your options are.
Hope this helps!

I am Centrelink newstart allowance recipient looking for the best unsecured personal loan as I find it hard to get approved because I don’t have a job. I own my own home, I don’t owe any money to anybody, and I don’t have credit cards with very good credit rating. Can someone please give me an answer to where I can get a loan?

Hi Maselusi,
Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. :)
I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble in finding a lender who can help you. Generally, the more documents you can show that you can make repayments, the higher your chance of getting approved. However, in your case, your only source of income is Centrelink and not all lenders could consider that as enough proof of your ability to make repayments.
Thankfully, there are lenders offering Centrelink loans. Please refer to the table to compare your option. On that page, you will also read our guide on how to improve your chance of getting a loan.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
