CommBank launches digital home loan product 'Unloan'

CommBank has announced the launch of Unloan, Australia’s first variable rate digital home loan with a discount that increases every year for up to 30 years.

Unloan offers owner occupiers one low variable rate, priced at 2.14% p.a. (2.06% pa comparison rate*), including a loyalty discount that grows by one basis point (0.01%) every year, up to 30 years.

For investors, Unloan also offers one low variable rate of 2.44% p.a. (2.34% p.a. comparison rate*) with the same loyalty discount that increases every year for up to 30 years.

Developed through the support and infrastructure of CommBank's venture scaler x15ventures, CommBank notes Unloan strips away many of the complexities seen in more traditional lending options allowing applications to be completed in as little as 10 minutes.

From 17 May, Unloan is accepting applications to refinance home loans up to three million dollars and up to 80% of the property’s value.

CommBank says Unloan plans to expand in the coming months into new home loans while also enabling open-banking powered assessments for a faster application experience. 

CommBank CEO Matt Comyn said driving digital innovation for customers is core to CBA’s ongoing strategy.

"Unloan is a powerful example of what can be achieved by successfully bringing together the pace and innovation of the startup world with the scale and assets of Australia's leading bank, which has always been central to our approach with x15," Mr Comyn said. 

Unloan fees

Unloan is a fee-free digital product from CommBank, meaning customers who are looking to refinance will pay no application fees, discharge fees, account keeping fees or transaction fees. 

There are no penalties for additional repayments, redrawing, late payments or early termination.
