Commonwealth Bank have announced they are continuing to experience significant increases in the cost of funds, as a result of sustained market volatility. The announcement states that while Commonwealth continue to absorb some of these costs, it has become necessary to pass on a proportion of these costs through increasing the interest rate on a range of fixed rate home loan products.

These rates apply to all new fixed rate loans, and are effective Monday 14 April 2008.

Commonwealth 1 Year Guaranteed Rate and Fixed Rates will change as follows:

1 Year Guaranteed Rate + 0.30 percent increase

1 Year Fixed Rate + 0.30 percent increase

2 Year Fixed Rate + 0.20 percent increase

3 Year Fixed Rate + 0.20 percent increase

4 Year Fixed Rate + 0.20 percent increase

5 Year Fixed Rate + 0.20 percent increase

7 Year Fixed Rate + 0.20 percent increase

10 Year Fixed Rate + 0.20 percent increase
