Finding Branch Information
When you need to identify a Commonwealth Bank branch, whether for property settlement paperwork or filling out a payment form, the most reliable method is using the official "Locate Us" tool on the bank's website. This tool provides the specific branch name and its associated BSB code based on the suburb or postcode you enter. Relying on the official tool helps ensure you have the current details, as branch names and BSBs are specific to their operating location.
If you have access to a past bank statement, you may also find the branch name and BSB printed near your account details. This is often the most convenient way to confirm your information without searching online. If you are specifically looking for a BSB to complete a transfer, the locator tool remains the standard way to verify that the branch details align with the BSB you have been provided.

- Enter the suburb or postcode of the branch you are searching for in the search bar.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
MFA / Login Issues
If you are attempting to log in to NetBank to check your branch details and your MFA code is not arriving, this is often caused by mobile network congestion. A simple fix is to toggle your phone's airplane mode to force a connection refresh. If the code still fails to arrive, contact the bank to ensure your contact details are current.
Browser or App Errors
Sometimes the locator tool may fail to load due to outdated browser cache. A simple fix is to clear your browser's cache or attempt the search in an "Incognito" window. If the error continues, check your app store to ensure you are using the latest version of the CommBank app, as older versions may experience display issues.
Locked Account / ID Issues
Entering your login details incorrectly multiple times while checking your account will trigger a security lock. You cannot resolve this through self-service if your access is suspended. The fallback action is to call the bank's support team, as staff must manually verify your identity before they can restore your digital access.
Pro-Tip: Bookmark the official "Locate Us" page in your browser. This helps you avoid using third-party search engine results which may contain outdated branch information, ensuring you always retrieve the most current branch names and BSB codes directly from the bank's database.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the branch name on my statement different from my suburb?
The branch name listed on your statement typically reflects the original "home branch" where your account was first opened or registered, which may not always be in your current suburb. This occurs because the branch name is essentially a static identifier for the BSB. One limitation is that this does not restrict you from using other branches for your banking needs. Your next step is to check the BSB code on your statement, as the BSB is the primary identifier the bank uses, regardless of the branch name.
What is the CBA OSKO offer in Australia?
Osko is not an "offer," a promotion, or a service you need to sign up for; it is the brand name for the payment infrastructure (the New Payments Platform) that enables fast, near real-time transfers between Australian bank accounts, 24/7. It is standard technology integrated into your CommBank account. There is no Osko offer to claim or "get." It is simply how the system processes fast domestic payments. This infrastructure operates independently of specific branch names or locations.
