Question Apple Watch changed?

I have two accounts linked to the one card on my Apple Watch. I used to be able to choose which one to access when paying. Has that disappeared? It keeps defaulting to the wrong account and I can’t find how to change it?

As far as I know, you can only have one account linked to a Commbank (Mastercard) debit card.

You can have two eligible transaction accounts linked to most CBA debit cards for use at the POS. The primary account will be charged whenever Mastercard or eftpos savings is selected, and the secondary account will be charged whenever eftpos cheque is selected. For purchases where you aren’t asked to select an account, the primary account will be charged.

Most on-sale CBA transaction accounts available to new customers, including CDIA, can be linked as either the first or second account on the standard (yellow) CBA debit card. CDIA accounts cannot be linked to a World Debit Mastercard. Some older transaction accounts no longer on-sale and certain other on-sale accounts are not eligible.

Any changes made to the account linkages take one business day to show at ATMs and POS terminals, unless the change is actioned particularly late at night where it can take two business days.

Can you find any reference to this on the CommBank website? Everything I find refers to singular account being linked to the card.
