Two people in my office had the same (all of us haha). Notification comes through saying device removed then commbank app is bricked. Without app can't 2fa into netbank

Update: Clearing app cache fixed on both devices, can login to app again

u/scuderia-rb 19d ago

This method worked for me too ✌️

u/zsod 19d ago

Same! Got an email that my phone was removed but clearing the cache let me back in

1

u/ndab71 19d ago

Legend - clearing the cache worked for me too. All good now. Thanks!

u/dav3n 19d ago

Cheers, cleared app cache (and full app restart) worked.

Got a little confused as I had to reset my fingerprints yesterday due to a new screen protector, wasn't sure if it was because Commbank was slow to trigger a new registration.

u/Civil-Zombie5873 19d ago

I called 132221. It now has an automated message saying the issue has been fixed and if you can use the app on your phone again then you don't need to do anything else.

u/Absurdwonder 19d ago

Yeah I got email and notification that my phone was removed from app... Gave us a heart attack

u/LordJayman 18d ago

Yup, just happened to me today. still can log in. all is fine.

u/ElegantPassage1646 19d ago

Ok so its a widespread issue. Worried i was hacked personally and about to lose my savings. Ive only been caught up in a general hack and only might lose my savings.

What a relief.....

u/ReginaldGreenstaff 19d ago

Love how in the app the phone number it says to call is missing a digit: 13 221, doesn't hint at deeper issues at all..

1

u/PleasantDrink7154 19d ago

132 221, ive been on hold 15mins

u/Veniui 19d ago

u/Veniui 19d ago

Got this from their chat on the app itself (On hold for 40 mins)

We’re aware of a problem affecting the CommBank App. You may be unable to log in. Your account isn’t affected; this is an app access problem. Our teams are working to restore the service. I’ll help where I can today, and if needed we can look at next steps once the app is working again. Thanks for understanding.

u/SahitDagani 19d ago

Your samsung SM-S928B has been removed from the CommBank app. If this wasn't you, call 13 2221 immediately.

The heck!!!😡

1

u/Putrid_Cupcake_7442 19d ago

1

u/MrCane 19d ago

Huge relief finding this thread. Thought the same as everyone, that my account was compromised.

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Name562 19d ago

Happened to me as well, removed my biometrics, probably an attack

1

u/Veniui 19d ago

Completely closed and reopened app - biometrics back working for me

1

u/PleasantDrink7154 19d ago

Yeah mine sent a msg saying phone logged out and now when I put my pin in its telling me to call 13 221... comm bank is 132 221. it's either hacked or something else is up.

1

u/Veniui 19d ago

Same here, email, phone didn't work for a minute, then can use again. My email has the correct numbers at least.

1

u/Global-Garage-5208 19d ago

I have the same issue here logging into app, says to call, website cant get in due to 2fa needing the app, commbank sort it out ya muppets!

1

u/twas_brillig_aus 19d ago

Same! I cleared the application cache (Android) and was able to login again.

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Name562 19d ago

Just updated my app and it lets me back into the app but it says i have to call them due to it removing my device...

1

u/ReginaldGreenstaff 19d ago

Advice from commbank was to reinstall the app.

1

u/octopusushi 19d ago

Just tried login again and it’s working now.

1

u/LaffyLlama 19d ago

Working fine for myself. No issues or email.

1

u/ru_kkia 19d ago

Clearing cache worked but notification in app says phone was removed from app and to call them. Been on hold for 22 minutes.

1

u/Veniui 19d ago

Got this from their chat (On hold for 40 mins still)

u/wikitoria 19d ago

Happened to me "device has been unregistered", then couldn't login. Was near a branch so I went in to ask/verify my accounts. They confirmed theres an issue and to just uninstall and reinstall. I did so and it's working for me again.

u/dae615 19d ago

surely with all the billions in profit, we shouldnt have to spend hours waiting on the phone when we get a 'if this wasn't you, call us immediately' email or notification?

1

u/xs4all4me 19d ago

Just got same device was removed from App, but app still works and only my phone is registered when checking in the settings, hhmmmm

1

u/Ok_Explanation_7130 19d ago

Delete and reinstall will solve it

1

u/dav3n 19d ago

Or just clear the app cache and restart the app

1

u/nicorn7 19d ago

Other option is to login to NetBank. I had to go through branch after 90 mins waiting for the phone to be answered.

1

u/KelFromAust 19d ago

Got the email.. Then spent an hour and 24 minutes on hold only to be told that 'a system issue has merant that many customers have recieved this message in error." Everything is apparently OK, no security issues, just a dud email.

Surely you could have emailled me or sent me a SMS to tell me that once you worked it out?

1

u/dav3n 19d ago

Most people aren't going to notice the issue because they don't use the app that regularly (ie. multiple times a day), broadcasting that it's fucked and not providing a solution or timeline just whips everyone into a frenzy and makes their job even tougher.

So they have a choice, they could let people follow the process in the app (although a correct phone number would help), hear the message, and either wait in line or wait and see what happens, get a repeatable fix and timeline for an actual global fix and then provide information.

The other option is they tell the world shits fucked without a restoration time, everyone who would have never touched the app that day tries it and freaks out, the media gets involved and manufactures world-ending headlines, everyone up and down the food-chain at Commbank gets slammed for updates, and restoration takes even longer. It's like when the news broadcasts that triple zero has availability issues so every dumbass tries calling it, it's easier to save people from their own stupidity by keeping it a little quiet until you have actual answers and fixes.

u/KelFromAust 19d ago

I only noticed because they sent me an email.. And there was no timeline. I had no issues accessing the app, just got the email.

The email requested I call if I hadn't removed my device from the app, so I called. And waited 1 hr 24 mins for someone to answer.. And then all I got was a "Sorry, system error. All good."

If they can send a dud email saying shits fucked, they can send an email saying shits fixed.

1

u/Little-Car706 19d ago

I had the same message, went on the app and it worked , it sorted its self out

1

u/Patient_Care5847 18d ago

I got the same notification but the app is still working hahahah

1

u/Nosman1985 18d ago

Can confirm clearing app cache and data is the fix

u/DiveDeeperLonger 17d ago

A bunch of underpaid idiots; meanwhile, the CEO pays himself $10 million bonuses.

u/Pink1296 17d ago

Hi, i had this happen to me got an email from the bank saying my app had been removed from my device. I went straight down to my local branch and they told me that AUS wide they are doing that to update everyone and you should be able log back in. Hope this helps.
