This account doesn't earn interest. To earn interest on your savings, you can easily open an online savings account linked to your CommBank bank account when opening your account, or at a later date.
$15 fee may apply when on a given day, certain payments go through which exceed the then available funds in your account or any agreed overdraft limit. You can only incur one overdraw fee per account per day, regardless of the number of transactions or payments you make on that day.6
You can avoid this fee by switching off the overdraw feature. Simply log on to the CommBank app or NetBank and opt out via the overdrawing preferences located in account settings. You can also give us a call or visit your nearest branch.

Once we’ve verified your identity, you can start banking straight away.
You'll need to complete your ID verification within 20 days of opening your account, or your account may automatically close. If you miss this timing, you can reapply at any CommBank branch.
While your Debit Mastercard is on its way to you, download the CommBank app or log on to NetBank to:
Have your Australian driver’s licence, Proof of Age card (issued by an Australian state or territory), passport, Medicare card, or Australian birth certificate handy.
Having more than one form of ID will improve your chances of passing the online ID check.
You can complete your ID check in-branch too – you’ll just need to bring these documents.
Each time you open an account that may pay interest, we give you the option to provide your TFN, ABN or TFN Exemption.
You don't have to provide these, but if the account earns interest, CommBank is legally required to withhold tax from any interest earned above a certain threshold.
We’ll also ask you about your tax residency (a Government requirement).
