Earlier this week, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia slashed 30 basis points from its two-year Mortgage Advantage Package fixed rate home loan, also taking the new rate to just 4.99 per cent.
In addition, the lender trimmed 30 basis points from its two-year Investment Home Loan, taking the new rate to 5.14 per cent.
As part of the offer, borrowers are able to lock themselves into either of these new interest rates for the non-refundable fee of $750.
