Notably, he said growth in mortgage offsets has slowed, as more borrowers dip into savings to get by.While 85 per cent of the bank’s mortgagees are ahead in repayments, the number falling into arrears has grown, particularly in the last six months. The bank is currently providing hardship assistance to 147,000 borrowers. However, its number of “troubled loans” remains under one per cent.Chief Financial Officer Alan Docherty said CommBank was watching its mortgage book closely. “There are clearly pockets of customer stress, given higher living costs and higher interest rates,” he said.Comyn described the mortgage market as intensely competitive. “There’s a lot of pricing activity in the market, a little bit of a re-emergence in the prevalence of cashback (offers).” However, he said CBA would not sacrifice stability and profits in the chase for new loans. The bank is Australia’s biggest lender and now writing 600 home loans each day.\nBe the first to know: Add 7NEWS as your preferred news source on GoogleCBA’s annual report highlights a focus on AI, with 80 per cent of its staff now using the technology each week.
