Our cyber security features

Reduce false-billing scams

In an Australian banking first, NameCheck prompts you if the account details on a first-time, non-bulk payment don’t look right.

This can help protect from business email compromise scams and mistaken payments.

Verify it's CommBank calling

CallerCheck allows you to verify whether a caller claiming to be from CommBank is legitimate, by triggering a security message in your CommBank app. 

Identify yourself to CommBank staff

We may need to identify you before assisting with certain transactions in-branch by using CustomerCheck, which sends a message to your CommBank app.

This helps ensure we’re speaking with the right person and helps protect you from fraud.

Keep info on the CommBank app safe

Screen Share Protect may automatically hide your details within the app to help protect your privacywhen you engage in screen sharing activities such as mirroring your screen, taking screenshots (Android only) or recording your screen.

Scams that target businesses

Stop. Check. Reject.

  1. Stop - Does a call, email or text seem off? The best thing to do is stop. Take a breath. Real organisations won’t put you under pressure to act instantly.
  2. Check - Ask someone you trust or contact the organisation the message claims to be from.
  3. Reject - If you’re unsure, hang up on the caller, delete the email, block the phone number. Change your password if you think someone else may have it, and make sure you pick something long and unique.

Watch our webinar on business email compromise

Scammers often use a method called business email compromise to trick businesses into sending money to the wrong bank account or sharing sensitive information.

These emails often look like they’re from someone you trust – a manager, supplier or customer – and may ask you to update bank account details or make a payment to a new account.

Everyone is vulnerable to email scams. Remember: StopCheckReject.
