New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on April 09, 2019) follows:

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CommBank or CBA), as some of you may already know is a popular Australian multinational bank. And what’s coming to light is that their online banking service NetBank is not working and the app is also acting a bit glitchy lately.

Complaints can be seen posted across social media platform Twitter wherein users chime that NetBank is temporarily unavailable because of which they can’t access their accounts. Here’s how some of the affected users word the issue:

The NetBank service basically allows customers to transfer funds, manage their accounts and savings, and also gives them an access to their assets/liabilities. With the service broken, users are not able to access the above stated functionalities.

Is the problem known?

Yes it is. What’s appeasing is that CommBank is not only aware of the issue in question, but are also working to resolve the same quickly. Here’s what they said recently while acknowledging the glitch.

NetBank is temporarily unavailable, and we are working to rectify the issue as soon as possible.

A user also shared the message that is now reflecting while logging in to CommBank app. It also notifies the same.

So if you are also among the troubled CommBank users who are not able to access NetBank or for whom the CommBank app is not working currently, then find solace in the fact that the issue will hopefully be resolved soon.

Rest assured, we are keeping an active tab on all related developments and will update the story as and when required.
