PSA: At the moment there seems to be an outage with CBA on their EFTPOS and Credit Card systems… calling up confirmed this.

None of my online purchases are going through using my CBA cards. All saying "declined" even when there are funds in the accounts.

Online purchases don't use EFTPOS though?

Can you withdraw money from an ATM?

I hope you don't pay $5/month to Commbank for this

  Think OP means you can't buy anything online using your Debit Mastercard.

This happens almost every year with banks.

They make billions in profits but can spend a few dollars making sure their customers can use their network when they need it.

    Correct no need to stick with Commbank, Its definitely not the best 4 banks in Australia as a customer (with Debit Card).
    I am already hating them, being their customer (with Credit Card)

        @deme: ITs that bad that I still have not gotten my card been like over 2 weeks since applied, been over a week since getting approved. That's on top of their 2 hours average call waiting periods.
        But my GUESS on Balance transfer is No for the Low fee Gold Credit card, (but even it was I would have never used it, NOT WITH COMBANK ESPCIALLY)
