Set up direct debits on your credit card

Setting up a direct debit so you can automate your bill payments using your credit card means you won't need to worry about missing a payment again. You can set up a direct debit for a variable amount (such as a phone bill) or a set amount (such as an insurance premium).

Setting up a direct debit

To set up a direct debit on your Commonwealth Bank credit card account, just follow these easy steps:

• Decide on the bills you would like to be paid automatically
• Call the relevant service provider (e.g. Energy Australia or Optus)
• Tell them you would like to set up a direct debit and give them your Commonwealth Bank credit card number, expiry date and card verification code (the last 3 digits on the back of your card)

If you ever wish to cancel a direct debit on your credit card, simply call your service provider.
