Why are we making these changes?

With more and more Australians choosing to do their banking online and using devices, we’re investing in improving the experience and security of payments for all customers. At the same time, the cost of handling, processing and storing cash is increasing.

In line with our environment and sustainability commitments, CBA has been encouraging customers to move away from paper statements for many years.

While these changes may impact you, we’ll continue to work with you to help you avoid paying fees.

How can you avoid paying fees?

We know some of your customers prefer paying in cash, and we’ll continue to support you with cash services. There are a number of ways for you to deposit cash or accept payments without incurring additional fees:

  • Deposit and withdraw cash securely at our free instant deposit ATMs1. Our branch staff can help you use the machine. Learn more about ways to deposit money at our ATMs
  • Take advantage of free electronic transfers in NetBank and CommBank. Depending on your situation, you may want to work with your customers to find alternative methods for them to pay you. We’ve listed a number of options below
  • Switch to free online statements and notices

More ways to accept payments

We have a number of payment methods available for your business that can help reduce fees, improve cash flow and security.

Fast payments & PayID

Receive near real-time payments directly into your account (including weekends and public holidays). Once you’ve registered your email, mobile number or ABN/ACN as your PayID, your customers can simply use your PayID instead of your BSB and account details. It’s fast, secure and convenient.

Learn more about PayID for small business.

Direct credit/Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

Provide your customers with your BSB, account number and account name so they can transfer directly to your bank account.

Learn more about how to transfer money.

Accepting card and phone payments

Take payments wherever your customers are. Accept card payments on the go and in-store using a merchant facility. Accept all major card schemes and enjoy same day settlement on all sales your business makes, 365 days a year.2 Take advantage of our low 1.1% flat rate transaction fee3, currently the lowest in the market.
