Getting your statement out of Commonwealth Bank
Commonwealth Bank keeps up to 7 years of online statements available as PDFs in NetBank and the CommBank app, while transaction tracking in NetBank covers around 2 years. NetBank's Export function turns transaction lists into files for Excel and accounting software.
Download a PDF statement in NetBank
- Log on to NetBank.
- Go to the statements area (View statements).
- Select the statement type, statement period and account, then select Search.
- Open the statement you need and download the PDF.
Get statements in the CommBank app
- Log on to the CommBank app.
- Open the account, then go to its statements/documents section.
- Choose the statement period and download the PDF.
CommBank confirms online statements can be checked in both NetBank and the app anytime.
Export transactions from NetBank
- Log on to NetBank on a desktop browser and open the account's transactions.
- Use the Export function on the transaction list.
- Choose your date range and the file format your software needs.
- Export and save the file.
Export is a NetBank (desktop) feature — the CommBank app does not offer transaction file exports.
Menu wording shifts between app versions; the destinations above stay stable — confirm against Commonwealth Bank's official help. Statements up to 5 MB / 5,000 rows are supported; card numbers are redacted before storage, the original file is deleted within 24 hours, and reports stay in your dashboard only as long as your plan keeps them.
What Commonwealth Bank gives you natively
Statements download as PDFs. NetBank's Export function is documented for getting transaction information into other software, with CSV (for Excel and Google Sheets), OFX (for Xero, MYOB and similar) and QIF (for older packages) being the export formats widely documented for NetBank; CommBiz, the business platform, officially exports transaction history as PDF or CSV. Choose CSV when the goal is a spreadsheet, OFX when importing into modern accounting software.
How far back you can go
CommBank states online statements are kept for up to 7 years and can be checked in NetBank and the CommBank app, and that you can track around 2 years of account transactions in NetBank. The transaction Export window is shorter than the statement archive — CommBank support describes exporting up to 15 months of transaction history — so for older periods you work from the PDF statements. Statements for closed or old accounts are also findable in NetBank, and for anything beyond the 7-year online window you need to contact CommBank to request records.
Commonwealth Bank statement quirks worth knowing
These are the details that trip people up when a Commonwealth Bank export doesn't line up with the statement it came from — worth reading before you assume the conversion is wrong.
- Osko payments made via PayID appear quickly and carry the payment description — Osko descriptions can run long (the scheme supports up to 280 characters), so CSV columns need to tolerate lengthy text.
- BPAY bill payments are identified by the biller's name with the biller code and customer reference number, not the brand you might know the company by.
- Card purchases show the merchant name with a suburb/location suffix and often a card-number fragment, and pending transactions visible in the app can differ in wording from how they finally settle on the statement.
- Direct debits appear under the merchant's registered direct-debit user name, which frequently differs from the trading name on your invoice.
