The speed at which funds arrive in your Commonwealth Bank account depends on the type of transaction. Understanding typical processing times can help you plan your finances effectively.

Typical Processing Times for CommBank Transactions

  • Immediate: Transfers between your own Commonwealth Bank accounts usually reflect instantly.
  • Within Minutes: PayID and BSB transfers to other Australian bank accounts typically complete within several minutes.
  • Three Days or More: International transfers often take three business days or longer to arrive, depending on the destination country and intermediary banks.

Important Security Note

Be aware that for security reasons, first-time transactions to new recipients may be held for up to one business day before processing.

Summary

  • Use internal transfers for instant fund movement.
  • Domestic transfers via PayID or BSB are usually fast but allow a few minutes.
  • Plan ahead for international payments due to longer processing times.
