CallerCheck helps protect you from scam calls claiming to be from CommBank. It allows you to verify if a call is legitimate, by triggering a security message in your CommBank app. It’s our preferred method of verification as it's a more secure way to complete the identification process.
From time to time, we may call about your account or products and services you have with CommBank. It’s important that we both know we’re talking to the right person.
With an increase in scam and fraud calls, it can be tricky to know whether the person you’re speaking to is really who they say they are. With CallerCheck you can confirm it’s us and know you’re speaking to a legitimate member of the CommBank team.
We may use CallerCheck to make sure we’re speaking with the right person when receiving and making calls, before we share any details about your account.
CallerCheck can be used for identification on calls you make to us as well as calls we make to you.
