The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) has matched recent moves by several rivals to reduce their most popular fixed interest rate home loans. CBA’s three-year interest rate has been reduced by 15 basis points, to 4.94 per cent, while its four-year fixed rate has been cut by 50 basis points to 5.09 per cent. CBA’s Clive van Horen notes that there has been a spike in customers opting for fixed-rate loans since its five-year rate was cut in July 2014
