The various CommBank personal loans available

  • 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.

      Hi HB,

      Once your 457 Visa has been approved, you can submit your CommBank personal loan application online or in a CommBank branch. To be eligible for a loan with CommBank, you need to be 18 years old, earn a minimum income of $14,000 p.a., and reside in Australia. You’ll only be approved for a loan term that’s less than the term of your Visa. You can find out about the documents needed to apply through our CommBank secured car loan review.

      I hope this has helped,

      Elizabeth

    Hi, we have an existing home loan which is up to date. But just last year, we had to go into a debt fix agreement to settle some of our unsecured debts. This was due to partner losing work, coz the company have closed down and struggled to find a stable job after 10 months. Luckily we still managed to keep the house but we lost our car. Just wondering if there’s any chance for us to apply for a (home) loan refinance and use this fund to close and pay off our debt agreement. We are desperate to get a car loan and at this point in time, we know that we will not get approve for any type of loan. Please help and give your advice.
    Thank you kindly Vina

      Hi Lea,

      Thanks for your question.

      The minimum amount you can borrow with a Commonwealth Bank Personal Loan is $5,000, unless you want a personal overdraft (which is an ongoing line of credit attached to your account) where you can borrow as little as $100. Commonwealth Bank does consider pensioners for loans depending on your financial circumstances and your ability to repay. You will need to get in contact with Commonwealth Bank to discuss eligibility.

      You can also see our guide to pensioner loans and check lenders/banks that offer smaller amounts and other available government assistance programs.

      I hope this has helped.

      Thanks,
      Elizabeth

      Hi Dana,

      Thanks for your question.

      Your eligibility for a car loan depends on your individual financial situation, the car you are looking to purchase, among other things. You can take a look at Commonwealth Bank’s car loans and if you click on the title of the loan you will be able to see the eligibility criteria. When you’re ready to apply, just click ‘Go to Site’.

      I hope this has helped.

      Thanks,
      Elizabeth

      Hi Brendan,

      Thanks for your question.

      Unfortunately this fee is undeterminable until the time you request the payout figure, as rates change daily. In this case it’s best to contact CBA directly to enquire about this.

      However, please note you are able to make an additional of $5K in repayments on a fixed rate loan, so if your loan is only for $5K, you may not even pay these fees.

      Cheers,
      Shirley
