What you'll need

  • A submitted online CommBiz registration or maintenance request
  • Paperwork generated from your CommBiz request
  • Up-to-date business details with CommBank, such as the signatures we have on file 
  • Correct details recorded with relevant business registries, such as ASIC

What is the CommBiz Account Authority form? 

Completing the CommBiz Account Authority form

The form is made up of three sections.

This section outlines the rules for authorising payments, like how many authorisers are needed to process payments. It also details:

  • Service ID: the CommBiz service you’re registering or making changes to
  • Application ID: the application number or maintenance request number for your request
  • Name of account: the account name you gave when submitting the registration or maintenance request
  • Account number: the BSB and account numbers you’re adding or updating 
  • Monetary band: the payment ranges and how many authorisers are needed for each range (if applicable)

If you're adding the accounts as view only (non-transactable), the monetary bands and authorisation rules table will show a ‘View Only’ watermark.

You only need to review this section - you don't need to complete or sign it. If any of the details are incorrect, you'll need to cancel your existing CommBiz request and submit a new request to generate a new CommBiz Account Authority form.

This section lists all the users you want to add or remove as authorisers on the accounts listed in Part A.

Some users won't need to sign the form. This includes:

  • Users who are already authorisers on the accounts listed in Part A
  • Identified users who are being appointed as authorisers

If the user hasn’t been identified in CommBiz, they’ll need to provide additional information depending on who they bank with:

  • CommBank – users can provide their CommBank BSB and account number in the reference account field (if not already provided), confirm their details are correct and sign in the signature field
  • A different bank – users need to confirm their details are correct, sign in the signature field and complete the Certified Copies Identification form

If you’re removing authorisers from the accounts listed in Part A, the authorisers’ full name and date of birth will display under the heading “Authorisers to be removed”. They won’t need to sign the form.

This section includes the Declaration and Acknowledgement must be signed by the Directors or Authorised Officers of the accounts listed in Part A. By signing, they agree to:

  • Remove any listed authorisers or changing the EMOO
  • Allow the listed users to be able to authorise any electronic instructions on the account
  • Allow any other person authorised by an Administrator to have electronic access to the account when a new account is being added
