5 CommBank Yello for Business is available to selected business customers who meet certain eligibility criteria. A customer who meets the eligibility criteria but who has not been selected to participate in CommBank Yello for Business, will not be able to access the program. For more information on eligibility, refer to the CommBank Yello for Business Terms and Conditions.

6 You must complete 5+ eligible outbound transactions from your eligible business transaction account. An eligible outbound transaction means any completed transaction in the prior calendar month of the following types: payments or other purchases made using a debit card on an eligible business transaction account, including digital wallet transactions; cash withdrawals at an ATM or CommBank branch from an eligible business transaction account; payments or transfers to an unrelated third party from an eligible business transaction account.

  • Payments or transfers to an account where an authorised operator is the account holder, joint account holder, cardholder or an authorised operator are not considered a payment or transfer to a third party. Payments or transfers to accounts that are associated with your customer record or to an account of a related entity (but where you are not the account holder) are not considered payments or transfers to a third party. For example, if you are a director of a business and make payments between your individual account and business account, or make payments to an account that you are a signatory on or you're an authorised third party on the account, including under a power of attorney.
  • Completed transactions do not include transactions which are pending. You can view your pending transactions in the CommBank app.
  • We may also from time to time consider other transactions to be eligible outbound transactions.

7 An eligible CommBank business transaction account is defined as being a Business Transaction Account or a Stream Working Capital Transaction Account. You must hold an eligible CommBank business transaction account as at the end of the previous calendar month.

8 At the end of each month, the Bank will rank the following transactions in the following order and transaction fees will apply to transactions above the 5 threshold:

  1. Quick Deposits - cash and cheque deposits
  2. Cheque transactions
  3. Assisted transactions

Cheque access may not be available in some circumstances. View our current Business Transaction and Savings Accounts Terms and Conditions for more information.

9 You can only open an account online if you're a new or existing customer who is either a sole trader, director of a private company (Pty Ltd), partner of a Partnership (up to 4 individuals) or trustee of a Self-Managed Super Fund (up to 6 individuals). You'll need to set up your business with us so we can verify your business details with ASIC. Once your beneficial owners and nominated directors have verified their ID (we'll email them instructions to do this online), you'll be able to open and start using your account. You'll be providing information to us on behalf of all related parties in accordance with our Privacy Policy - make sure you've got their permission to do so before you start. There may be instances when verification of your business and any other authorised account holders can take up to 48 hrs before your account can be operated.

10 If you've got other directors and/or any beneficial owners, they will need to verify their ID online. A beneficial owner is an individual who owns 25% of the company; but if no-one does, controls 25% of the company; but if no-one does, exercises control by way of making key financial or operational decisions, like a CEO. We'll get you to confirm their details so we can email them instructions to do this. Once they've completed this, you'll be able to open and start using your account.
