The commitment to produce better banking services started with the introduction of Apple Pay in January 2019.

The world is becoming more dependent on convenient technology to cater financial needs. Subsequently, CBA caught up with the trend by introducing Apple Pay. It was the second of Australia’s Big Four banks to offer the payment service keeping true to its promise in December 2018.

It was a step in the right direction, providing a quick and secure way to pay for consumers and businesses.

In addition, in December 2018, CBA also launched Alipay in Australia. This was a major development for businesses as it enables them to have a payment channel for Chinese consumers travelling in and out of the country.
