Hundreds of CommBank customers unable to send money transfer or pay people
The issue affected transfers from CommBank accounts and took several hours before the services were restored about 2pm.
Customers who tried to transfer money between their account or pay people using PayID or BSB and an account number from the app received an error message, 'Something's gone wrong. Try again a little later.'
Payments made at an ATM through the outage were unaffected.
An update on the bank's website said the issue affecting some transfers had now been fixed.
'We are sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience,' the statement said.
More than 400 customers reported a problem with fund transfers and online banking on Down Detector.
Frustrated customers commented it was the second time the outage had occurred in the past month.
'Transfers are down again,' one person commented.
'Transferring funds doesn't work and sending doesn't work and the question bot (is) down,' another person said.
'Second time in about a month Commonwealth Bank has gone down,' a person said.

Closing Bell: ASX knocks it out of the park, hitting five straight days of record highs
ASX closes out week-long rally on new record high of 8938 points Market set a new intraday high every day this week Broad sector strength, led by financials and materials From strength to strength The ASX's trade performance this week has been nothing short of remarkable. Today, the ASX 200 lifted by 0.73% or 64.8 points to 8938.6 points, a new all-time high. Every single trading day this week marked a new intraday high. In fact, Wednesday was the only day the ASX didn't finish higher than it started. We can thank CBA's losses for that one. An interest rate cut from the RBA, an extended rally on Wall Street, as-expected labour data and some stellar corporate earnings reports were all waving green – or perhaps red? – flags for the bulls this week. Looking ahead, we've got another raft of earnings calls from big names coming up, which could extend the rally further – or sink it. Keep an eye out for results from Ampol (ASX:ALD), A2 Milk (ASX:A2M), BHP (ASX:BHP), BlueScope (ASX:BSL), Bega Cheese (ASX:BGA), CSL (ASX:CSL), Domain (ASX:DHG), Santos (ASX:STO), Telix Pharma (ASX:TLX) and Zip (ASX:ZIP) next week. Today's rally was a team effort, with 9 of 11 sector players doing their part. No participation awards for consumer staples, which was essentially flat, and info tech, shedding just 0.16pc. The technology sector has had a rough time of it lately, down 2.39% for the week despite our record breaking performance. On the other hand, the ASX 200 Resources is back in fine form, recovering from a bit of a slump yesterday with a three-pronged rally. Gold stocks Meteoric Resources (ASX:MEI), Meeka Metals (ASX:MEK) and Greatland Resources (ASX:GGP) each gained about 5%. Lithium stocks also made progress. Liontown (ASX:LTR) bumped up 6.2%, while Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) added 2% and Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) about the same. Iron ore miners Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO) ticked up 1.4%, Fortescue (ASX:FMG) 1.3%, BHP (ASX:BHP) 1% and mid cap Mount Gibson Iron (ASX:MGX) jumped 5.3%.

Results from a maiden drilling program on one of the three tenements – Lameroo – peaked at 356 parts per million total rare earths from about 18m of depth, a promising indication of rare earths presence. Alice Queen (ASX:AQX) has ticked off another milestone at the Horn Island gold project, registering a 15-year mining lease application for the asset. MD Andrew Buxton says the time is right to advance the project to the next step, as the company has received strong expressions of interest from potential development partners. Great Western Exploration (ASX:GTE) has defined what it believes is a large volcanic hosted massive sulphide copper-gold system at Yerrida North project. GTE used a close-spaced ground gravity survey to vector in on the core of the system, which Great Western reckons is similar to the nearby DeGrussa copper mine. DeGrussa produced up to 300k tonnes of copper concentrate per year during its operation, which ran from 2012 to 2022. Baby Bunting (ASX:BBN) has hit or exceeded most of its FY25 guidance this year, bumping pro forma net profit after tax up a whopping 228% period on period to $12.1m. The nursery retailer also lifted total sales 4.7% over the same period to $521.9m and gross margins by 40.2% to 340 basis points – a full 40% above it's FY25 target.

Friend or foe? The AI bloodletting has begun in Australia
Telstra boss Vicki Brady, though less vocal on the company's AI developments at this week's results, was similarly forthright at its recent strategy day. 'We see lots of potential across those areas … customer engagement, how we operate and manage our network, how we develop software and manage our IT environment, how it supports back of office for us where you tend to have manual processes.' While it sounds like a great opportunity for Australian business, it sounds rather alarming when viewed from the vantage of their employees. After all, both are relatively low-growth businesses investing heavily in AI. Will this investment pay off by boosting worker productivity, or by replacing them? 'CBA publicly preaches productivity and innovation while quietly eroding local jobs. This hypocrisy cannot go unchallenged,' Finance Sector Union national secretary Julia Angrisano said after the bank's record $10 billion profit this week. The Australian Council of Trade Unions has demanded that employers guarantee workers' job security before introducing artificial intelligence to protect against jobs carnage. Local academics used research by the International Labour Organisation to translate its findings on AI job losses to Australia. They came up with a startling forecast of Australia's AI future in 2050: 32 per cent of current jobs in Australia could be done by AI. 'But that doesn't mean 32 per cent of people will lose their jobs overnight,' Victoria University academics Janine Dixon and James Lennox said in a report posted to The Conversation last week. 'It will take time for AI capabilities to be installed, giving people time to train for alternative careers. Much of the impact is likely to be years away.' This timeframe gives AI a lot of time to move beyond relatively low-level tasks, like replacing basic call centre work, to replacing white-collar jobs – like the software developers who make it. Loading So what does Atlassian co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes think the impact will be of the AI transformation on the company he built alongside Farquhar? It is in a frenzy of AI upgrades of its own products and surely looking at the productivity benefits. Cannon-Brookes sees a bright future despite AI's coding adeptness. It appears that the famously prescient 2011 claim by US billionaire venture capitalist Marc Andreessen that 'software is eating the world' still holds. 'Do I think there will be far less developers in the world five years from now? No, I don't think so,' Cannon-Brookes told investors on the company's earnings conference call last week. 'And yes, we're still hiring lots of engineers and developers with the growth of the business.' Cannon-Brookes' argument is simple: the world will need far more software and AI means it will be cheaper and easier to extend its development beyond corporate tech teams to the actual business itself. 'Whether they're in finance or HR or marketing, there's going to be a lot more people creating software,' he says. Mind you, Atlassian has a lot riding on this version of the future. Its business is literally built on managing the workflows and projects for this sort of development. The Farquhar and Cannon-Brookes fortunes will rapidly dwindle if this development can be done by an AI bot instead of teams of employees. But even AI's transformation of low-level customer work – like call centres – is not necessarily seen as a bad thing for local jobs. It could represent a boon for our country, says KPMG's chief digital officer John Munnelly. 'A lot of the stuff that AI is improving is the tasks we used to offshore, like call centre work,' he says. 'There's a really great opportunity for the Australian economy with AI' KPMG's chief digital officer John Munnelly The productivity dividend that Farquhar mentioned could actually make a lot more of this work viable here. 'There's a really great opportunity for the Australian economy with AI,' Munnelly says. Loading But the interesting stuff is already happening further up the wage chain – like KPMG's new AI tax tool that allows its executives to vastly accelerate the delivery of first-draft advice to clients. 'What used to take us two weeks to go and prepare – if a client's in the middle of a deal – now we can literally get it out the door in a day,' Munnelly says. It was left to KPMG chief executive Andrew Yates to address the conundrum this poses. What will this KPMG employee do with the nine days that would have previously been spent on this work? 'I think our current hypothesis is that what we do will change. But AI and the technology we've got will generate so much more data that our work will change from collating that data to really assessing, analysing, presenting, interpreting much more data than is currently available,' he says. 'There will be a real need for that insight and technical understanding of all the data that's produced.' As for the analysts trying to make sense of the AI talk which is starting to creep into earnings season speeches and rising costs, there is a more prosaic question. 'Companies have been keen to point out their investments in AI, but when will we see it translate to the bottom line?' asked UBS strategist Richard Schellback. Even Comyn, who packed more than a dozen AI references into his introduction to the bank's full-year results, came up with a cautious answer. He foresees a more effective workforce, producing higher quality work with both revenue and cost out opportunities. But he does not expect this to come easily. 'You can imagine that there are some much more efficient ways of delivering some of the things we currently do. But I do think that's going to take some time, like some years to work through some of the accuracy and quality that's required.'
