“Today we are announcing some changes to select fixed rate home loans,” said a CBA spokesperson.
“Our competitive home loan rates continue to provide value for customers who have access to industry-leading home loan features such as Home Loan Compassionate Care, Green loans and partnerships with innovative companies including energy retailer Amber and property management company :Different.”
