Introduction to Non-CBA Payment Requests

Instruct another bank to move money from an account you hold outside CommBank.

What is a Non-CBA Payment Request?

A Non-CBA Payment Request is an instruction (sent as a SWIFT MT101 message) that directs another bank to make a payment from an account you hold away from CommBank. You identify the account to be debited, the ordering bank’s BIC, and the beneficiary and their bank, and can specify who wears the bank charges and whether the payment is urgent. This lets you initiate and manage payments from your non-CBA accounts through CommBiz, alongside other payment instructions in the same file.

Common use cases

  • Initiating payments from accounts held at other banks via CommBiz
  • Centralising multi-bank payment instructions in one file
  • Managing liquidity across CBA and non-CBA accounts
  • Requesting urgent cross-border payments where charges are allocated to a specific party
