What is CustomerCheck?

  • CustomerCheck allows you to identify yourself, when visiting a branch or speaking to a CommBank specialist in person. CommBank staff will send you a security message in your CommBank app, to verify your identity.

    CustomerCheck is our preferred method of verification, as it is a secure way to complete the identification process. 

Why CustomerCheck?

  • When you visit a branch or speak to one of our CommBank specialists in person it’s important we verify your identity to keep your accounts safe and help protect you from fraud.

    CustomerCheck is a simple and secure way to identify yourself to CommBank staff, using the CommBank app. By receiving and accepting the CustomerCheck notification in your app, you no longer need to reveal identifying information about yourself in an open branch environment.

How to use CustomerCheck

Similarly to our CallerCheck technology, CustomerCheck sends a notification directly to your phone.

Only CommBank staff will have the ability to send a CustomerCheck notification to your CommBank app.

You'll need to have version 4.42 or newer of the CommBank app installed. If you don’t have this version, we'll proceed with other methods to identify you.

Make sure that you log on to the CommBank app and follow the prompts to verify you’re in the branch or speaking to a CommBank specialist in person.

1.

Our team members will advise you they’re sending a CustomerCheck notification to your device through the CommBank app.

2. 

Open the notification and log on securely to the CommBank app.

3.

Tap the notification to open yourCommBank app homepage.

4.

Follow the prompts to verify you’re with a CommBank specialist in-person. 

5.

Ensure you select “Yes I’m with a CommBank specialist”.

6. 

We’ll confirm that the verification has been completed.

Received an unexpected or late notification?

    • If you receive a notification but haven’t visited a branch or spoken to a CommBank specialist in person, select ‘No’. Use the call now feature to speak to our Fraud team so we can help keep your accounts secure.
    • If you attended a branch, but didn’t receive a CustomerCheck notification while in the branch, you might receive a delayed notification once you’ve left the branch. If this happens, check the time stamp and the date corresponding to your branch visit and confirm that "Yes, I am with a specialist”.
