Personal / Newsroom / We take your privacy seriously

Here's what you should know:

    • There is no evidence that any customer information was compromised
    • In May 2016 we were unable to confirm the scheduled destruction of two magnetic tapes used to print bank statements. These tapes contained information including customer names, addresses, account numbers and transaction details
    • They did not contain passwords, PIN numbers, or other data which could enable account fraud
    • We deployed enhanced reporting and ongoing monitoring of customer accounts to ensure customers were protected. These protections are still in place today
    • This was not cyber-related and there has been no compromise of CommBank’s technology platforms, systems, services, apps or websites
