Commonwealth Bank stock faces higher mortgage rates from November 13

Commonwealth Bank of Australia announced on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, that it will increase variable home loan interest rates by 0.25 percentage points per annum from Friday, November 13. The announcement follows the Reserve Bank of Australia's latest cash-rate increase.

The bank said the changes apply to all CommBank home loan variable rates announced on Wednesday. The company also highlighted repayment calculators, budgeting tools and financial assistance for customers managing higher borrowing costs.

Higher rates, mixed investor impact

For CBA, passing on the RBA increase can lift pricing on variable-rate lending. At the same time, higher repayments may pressure household spending and reduce demand for new credit, leaving the net effect dependent on competition, funding costs and borrower behaviour.

The latest move adds a new operating detail to the rate outlook covered in the previous report, which focused on the RBA's policy path and CommBank's expectations for restrictive monetary conditions. The company's own November 4 announcement said the bank recognised the pressure rising interest rates place on customers.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia stock traded at 103.70 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 15:40 CET on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
