To use BPAY with Commonwealth Bank (whether you want to pay a bill using your CommBank account or pay money into a CommBank loan/card), here is the essential information you need.
1. How to pay a bill (Using the CommBank App)
If you have a bill (e.g., electricity, phone) and want to pay it using your CommBank account:
-
Log in to the CommBank App.
-
Tap Pay (bottom center) > BPAY.
-
Tap + (top right) to add a new biller.
-
Enter the Biller Code and Reference Number (found on your bill).
-
Enter the amount and tap Pay.
2. CommBank Biller Codes (Paying into CommBank)

3. Processing Times (The “6pm Rule”)
-
Before 6:00 pm (Sydney/Melb Time) on Business Days: The payment is usually processed the same day.
-
After 6:00 pm, Weekends, or Public Holidays: The payment will be processed on the next business day.
-
Note: Even if CommBank sends it immediately, the receiving company (e.g., your electricity provider) may take 1–2 extra days to update their system.
-
4. Common Troubleshooting
-
“Limit Exceeded”: The default daily BPAY limit is usually $2,000 or $10,000. You can increase this instantly in the app:
-
Go to Profile (top left) > Settings > Payment Limits > BPAY.
-
-
“Invalid Biller Code”: Double-check you haven’t confused the “Biller Code” (usually 4–6 digits) with the “Ref Number” (usually longer).
-
Mistaken Payment: BPAY payments cannot be cancelled once sent. If you paid the wrong person, you must contact CommBank immediately to request a “mistaken payment investigation” (though a refund is not guaranteed).
