Complaints

The best way to resolve complaints with
CBA

CBA is Australia's largest bank. With over 16 million customers, it makes sense that CBA receives lots of complaints. Unlike the other big banks, CBA shares its complaint numbers in its Annual Report. In 2021-22, CBA received almost one million complaints. CBA sends emails from individual members of its complaint team (rather than a generic inbox), offering a more human experience for customers. CBA is also known as CommBank and the Commonwealth Bank.

Customer accuses cba of freezing accounts, breaching privacy, and accusing of being scammed while trading crypto. seeking action from regulatory bodies.
I personally bought some crypto through my CBA account. They accused me of being scammed and wanted to know why and how I got into crypto trading. I have a masters degree in economics and finance and decided to use my skills to trade crypto. I have not been scammed as I am wise as to their methods. The commonwealth bank has frozen all my accounts and the commbank App no longer works. They wanted to breach my privacy by demanding to look into my digital wallet, of course I refused it is none of their business. I will be writing letters to the ACCC, the banking ombudsman, the CEO of the Commonwealth Bank and ASIC demanding that action be taken against these criminals. My accounts remain inoperable and I can only do transactions with one of their branches, I am 69 years old and mobility is an issue, surely this is financial elder abuse. I am absolutely shocked at their behaviour and will look into taking legal action if necessary.

Staff at morrisset bank rude and incompetent, closing during posted hours, inconveniencing customers.
It clearly states that the Morrisset Bank is open on Fridays on both the website and the sign beside the door. They close from twelve to one with a piece of paper on the door. Multiple members sit inside talking on the phone. Customers travel to the bank with the understanding it is open.

Customer seeks investigation from cba for missing water payment deposited into landlord's account, encounters unhelpful branch manager.
For nearly a decade, I made a monthly payment at my landlord’s Commonwealth account (rent, water). In late December/ early January, 2024, I gave the bank teller $108 to be deposited for water charges. In 18 June, my landlord notified me that the money was transferred into its account! In 19 June, I went to the bank’s Neutral Bay branch and requested an explanation/ investigation of the missing money transfer as the teller may wrongly deposited it into another account or stole it. The branch manager, Erminda McArdle was hostile and informed me she will not investigate the matter because I’m not the account holder. She threatened to call the police. When I encouraged her to do so, she gave an idiotic smile and declined to do so. My landlord’s account identification number is 215100243877 and my agent number is 10010571. I would appreciate your assistance in investigating the matter.

Customer seeking to open account with cba after release from jail, requesting reconsideration of decision to cease relationship.
Hi I would like to lodge a complaint with Group Operations section. My name is Bret Anthony CHESWORTH , I had an account prior to going to gaol in 2020 and my account was closed. I’ve just spoken to someone in your group operations team and they said it looks like the bank has ceased a relationship with me. I don’t believe this is fair and reasonable. Yes I went to gaol, I admitted my quilt and have done my time and now I want to reintegrate back into society. My main reason for wanting to open an account with cba, is because I want to open a comsec trading account. Would you please reconsider this decision. By not allowing me to open an account with you will inable me of supporting myself and being a valued member of society. The outcome I would like is simple, I want to be treated fairly and be able to open an account with your bank. My email is bretanthony1576@gmail.com and my mobile is 0413 033 574

I want to complain about the wish of the bank to stop the use of the passbooks for obvious dirty reasons. With my wife we don't use mobile phones and the bank want to stop our pensions paid to our passbooks. It is simply disgusting. There again the reasons are obviously awfull

WE SUGGEST

Banks play a hugely important role in society by helping people facilitate day to day transactions and manage financial affairs. Whilst banks are typically extremely reliable, occasionally people do have an issue that needs fixing. Whether it's an incorrect fee or a transaction you don’t recognise, Ajust is here to simplify the process of creating your complaint.

We explain how to complain to any bank – from the big 4 (ANZ, CBA, NAB and Westpac), to credit unions, neo-banks and everything in between. We also share guidance about common issues facing banking consumers, including unauthorised transactions, faulty ATMs, branch closures, poor customer service, delays and more.

CBA

Ajust helps hundreds of consumers resolve complaints every month. By following the simple process, Ajust will get the right information to the right place at your bank so that they can resolve your complaint. Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re getting started.

It’s important to be clear about what went wrong, such as an unauthorised transaction or a problem with online banking. Be sure to tell your bank how the issue affected you so that they can act swiftly to resolve your complaint.
02
Consider how you’d like your bank to resolve your complaint
Help your bank by being clear about the outcome you are requesting, such as a refund of unauthorised charges or an apology for an outage. This will help the bank work swiftly to investigate and resolve the issue.
03
Gather any materials that support your complaint
Sharing relevant documentation can help your bank identify your issue faster. Consider sharing files such as bank statements or transaction receipts so that the bank can visually identify your issue and work towards a solution.
