Top innovations for customers
Reach savings goals faster: NetBank will help make saving even easier with the introduction of a new tool to track a savings plan. Customers simply select their savings goal, for example, a holiday, set the target amount and date they want and get saving. Every time a customer logs into NetBank they can see how they are tracking.
Staying on top of money: The new updates will provide easier access to important account information, such as the current interest rate on a savings account, scheduled transfers, due date of a credit card payment, as well as an improved transaction history search.
New look and simplified design: NetBank will feature a new navigation bar to make it easier for customers to find what they are looking for. For example, all the options for managing an account, including updating contact details and changing a PIN, are now grouped under a new "More" tab. Customers will also find a new section with access to foreign exchange rates, tools and more to help simplify everyday banking.
NetBank Vault: In an Australian banking first, Commonwealth Bank will pilot to customers an online virtual safety deposit box – NetBank Vault. Customers will be able to save important documents such as pay slips, contracts, scanned copies of passports/drivers licences, receipts and product warranties etc., in their online bank account, backed with the greatest online security.
CommBank Kaching – simpler, faster: CommBank Kaching now features Simple Balance – users simply drag the application down to see current balance information.
