Why we need to identify you

  • We need to verify the identity of our customers to meet our regulatory obligations as an Australian bank. This includes our Identification and Verification (ID&V) and Know your Customer (KYC) obligations.

    You’ll have limited access to CommBiz until we identify you. Once identified, you can:

    • Become an Authoriser on an account
    • Become a Service Delegate
    • Access CommBiz Mobile and/or eToken

    How to start the identification process

  • When an Administrator creates or updates your user profile, they can start the identification process for you. 

    The next time you log on to CommBiz, you'll be prompted to confirm your identity. There are three ways to do this:

    1. Use your NetBank logon details
    2. Use your CommBank BSB and account number
    3. Follow the steps for non-CommBank customers

    For options 2 and 3, you'll need to complete forms and return them to us.

  • If any details are wrong

    If any details are incorrect during the identification process, contact your Administrator. They’ll need to:

    1. Cancel the current request
    2. Update the details on your user profile
    3. Start the identification process again

    NetBank logon details

  • If you bank with us and use NetBank, you can use your NetBank logon details.

    When you log on to CommBiz you’ll be prompted to complete the identification process.

    1. Select Get started to proceed or Maybe later to complete the process next time you log on to CommBiz
    2. Review and select: 

      Yes if your correct full legal name is correct (e.g. Joseph not Joe or O’Neil not Oneil), then proceed to step 3 
      No if your full legal name is incorrect and contact your Administrator
    3. Select Yes when asked if you already bank with CommBank
    4. Enter your NetBank client number and password, then select Next 

    If your details match our records, we'll identify you almost immediately.
