Travel

NetBank brings you the convenience of banking whenever you want and from almost any location in the world. Here are a range of products and services built into NetBank that are particularly helpful for travellers or those living abroad.

Plan your holiday

• You can schedule a recurring amount of money to be transferred to your holiday account; this will help boost your savings and help you get to your holiday sooner
• Also, before you go on holidays you may like to schedule your regular bill payments for a future date. Try our scheduling demo
• At the Commonwealth Bank we're serious about security and keeping you safe on your travels. Therefore along with the products we've created to make travelling easy we also have a few suggestions to keep your money safe.
• Let the Bank know what countries you are travelling to. This will ensure we do not freeze your account due to what we believe is suspicious activity on your account.
• If you have NetCode SMS, in order to continue receiving your SMS you will need to have global roaming, if this is not possible please talk to us about using a NetCode token.
