Smooth
The best debit card *comparatively* in Australia for sure. Super user friendly app, great service and I love the fact that ALL PHONE CENTRES ARE IN AUSTRALIA! Great retail services.

Great banking
Their website with net banking is easy to use. Never had a problem with them in my whole 6 years with them. They also have great customer service in person and on call.

Don’t spend money you haven’t got.
I worked out, this was better for me than paying for credit. Commonwealth website makes it easy to check transactions any time. Payments can be set for specific dates. It’s simple to use and ensure you’ve enough credit to cover expenses. I’m able to manage without credit.

Great card - especially for those who find budgeting difficult.
I've had a Commonwealth Bank Debit Mastercard for a few years now. I wouldn't use anything else. Have never had a credit card, & don't want one either. A debit card is fantastic for people who find it hard, if not impossible, to budget, or don't know how to manage money at all.
I am "old fashioned" in that I still use cash. I will get a wad of money out of the ATM, take it home, put it in a secret place where no one can find it, & each time before I go out somewhere, I will put just enough cash into my purse for that particular shopping trip....Read more
I can't overspend then. When the money's gone from my purse, its gone until the next time I'm out somewhere. I find this system very good indeed. Stops me from wasting money on frivolous things. I've never been an impulse buyer & have always lived a very frugal life, but at the same time, haven't gone without things I need/want. I use cash for everything - the supermarket self-serve checkouts, Just Cuts, petrol, the newsagent, fruit shop, butcher etc. I pay most of my bills with cash too. At the post office. The only time I usually use my debit card is when I visit my dentist. And then I'm all at sea, cos the card machine is foreign to me :) The receptionist is great & helps me thru the process each time :) I'll continue to use cash for everything until we become a totally cashless country. Using cash is the only sure-fire way I know to budget. And budget successfully. Credit cards shouldn't be used by anyone who can't manage their money. It's no surprise to me that we owe billions of dollars in credit card debt in this country. Budgeting is not hard. You just have to know how to do it. Places like My Budget are a good place to start. There's lots of online help too.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

Handy For Online Buying
I find the Commonwealth debit Master Card very handy to use online when purchasing through Pay Pal, eBay, Amazon, and any other online stores.
I use it when paying bills with BPay and any other organisation which is easily done.
The Commonwealth Bank app is easy and simple to use when using this card.

good card with clear smart phone APP
As an International student, I have used this card for 5 years and not encounter any issues with it. Helpful customer service and clearly vision of smart phone app (to compare with NAB app). Will stay with this card.

Excellent
I'm unsure what the reviewer cheesedOof was talking about when they said that couldn't get cash out, and that they had to push the 'credit' button. I've always been able to get cash out, and I use the 'savings' button, not credit. This is a great card, it makes online and everyday transactions easy.
I got this card so I could shop online, and it's been great. I've had it for about 6 months now and I've never had any problems with it. Every website I've been to has accepted it. When I switched to this card it arrived within a week, and the customer service at my local branch was great.

To whoever reads this - a nice warning for you. When these cards are reissued - for example your expiry date is approaching, CBA in their infinite wisdom send the cards in the REGULAR mail ACTIVE!
Great Idea CBA!
