extremely rude and unprofessional, will never come again. Had called commonwealth to confirm how to set up a business partner bank account and the male teller working today would not hear it even though it's on their website that the process was possible. Kept saying that the process is not possible even though I've called and confirmed it was beforehand with another commonwealth and I'm assuming all commonwealths operate the same?! Manager wasn't there unfortunately. Definitely never coming back here, I hope they learn to improve their service and at the very least try to help solve problems rather that being lazy and not doing something because their not bothered. Hands down the worst commonwealth branch I've ever been to.

The branch manager went beyond the call of duty when he sorted out my Visa travel cards last month. They had been re-issued and cancelled by CBA 3 times so I always had trouble choosing a pin number as the cards were not recognised. At last success with the manager who offered personal service in his office so I could also complete some transactions. He showed initiative when he cleaned up a couple of new accounts that were attracting unnecessary fees after re-financing. Joyful season and a happy new year to you and your team. kind regards Sam

  • Jedda Kelly

We were in the queue at the Comm Bank Redfern for about 25 minutes and watched with admiration at the three staff members who dealt with the huge variety of intellects and attitudes of customers. They obviously care about their work, they took the time to explain to things to their customers and they were patient. We were amazed at how they coped so well. They must be exhausted at the end of each day because the number of people going in there is just relentless!! Great team at Redfern CBA.

  • Anthony M

Pretty disappointed here - I've been to the branch twice and came out both times without any sort of resolution. I tried to apply for a business account online only to be told to make an appointment at the branch. Made an appointment and went in only to be told I have to apply online? After researching through the site and attempting to apply online, I was AGAIN told to go into the branch and then AGAIN told to apply online. Absolutely useless, this bank just lost out on business.

  • Bernie Lamy

Very slow. I haven't been able to het service the last 3 times I tried. Theres always a queue, sometimes out on the foorpath. Eventually went to Newtown and found a branch. Got in with trepidation, as I expected long delays behind 3 or 4 people, but the staff came out to ask each customer what they needed and sorted it out to speed up service etc. Amazing service...! Why can't Redfern Branch do something to reduce the long queues...After 25 years, I am fed up with this branch.

  • Ramesh Sharma

I was amazed at how patient the staff were given the attitudes of some of their customers. The staff always had a smile for you and patiently helped you step by step through whatever transaction you needed done. However, the head office should seriously reconsider the policy of closing for a one hour lunch break, especially since some of us can only come to the bank during our lunch break since most branches close for the end of the day before we finish our work day.

  • Yuanming Zhao

In last night, we come here using ATM to deposit more money to pay the tuition fee. But this ATM has something wrong. ATM eat our money! Then today morning I come to the Branch told them what happened to me. After going through some tedious processes I just return my home. Then the money just back at the same time. Common bank handles this kind of thing very quickly!

  • Hazel McSweeney

Impossible to have any privacy. Staff speak so loudly u can hear it in the queue. I asked for my cash in an envelope and was told 'it's only $800. Why would you want an envelope?' Everybody in the bank then knew I had $800 cash. Was hassled to 'help out' by a aboriginal and his white friend IN THE BANK!! Security did nothing, even when asked

  • Viviane Fremann

I went to Commonwealth bank in Redfern Yesterday to order only a travel money card. However, the bank attendant, Vivienne, was absolutely amazing and gave me very good suggestions on how to save more money, purchase a house and so on...I'm very satisfied with her customer service...thank you very much

  • GaryandKaren Hill-Steiner

We came to make a complex transaction at the teller and were very pleased with her attention to detail. A number of other CommBank staff were involved with the transaction and all went smoothly and was handled professionally. The teller and manager both deserve a big well done from us.

  • Landy_ghaly

Worst branch ever. I have never seen a bank branch that closes from 1230 - 1330 for a lunch break Purposes. Went there today there atm was out of order to deposit a cash. Then the internal atm machine we couldn’t use cuz the staff closed to the branch for lunch break ah …

  • Yannick Lawry

Cash machines almost always out of service or unusable due to touch screen technology failure. Opens late, shuts early. Staff are perfectly nice which is just as well given the glacial pace at which things move if you actually need to use the teller service inside..

  • HD Chelsea

Was visiting Redfern and had to pop in to do some banking at that branch for the first time in the area. I can understand why the branch was closed for lunch as they had minimal staff , but what a great team looking after the community. They truly deserve 5 stars .

  • Moshab Ahmed

Worst customer service ever. They are not sure about anything. I had to go 4 times just to order my bank card as I was unable to do so online. Everything they posted my card to different address and once lost my papers too. Absolutely disgraceful …

  • Poppy Taylor

Young man helped me with opening account, very helpful, polite, highly professional keep him don’t let him go. I’ve had experiences in the past with lots of bank staff but none like him. Very helpful thank you so much Greek young man …

  • Renee Selmer Johansen

The lady at the counter, I think her name was Dailie, left the counter to walk all the way round and lead me to the deposit machines near the entrance, explained it and helped me do it. It was really nice to have such good personal service!

  • nianyi xiong

Very happy experience here at redfern branch. The staff Vivi is really friendly and patiently with every single details in the progress. It is really helpful and have already solved a big problem to me. Gonna find for her help next time.

  • Gleb P

Worst branch ever. Wasted 20 mins in a queue and then because of some stupid printing issues that had advised to go to Elizabeth st. branch instead. They have just lost a client - I am going to close all accounts and never use CBA again.

  • Z K

Been here a couple of times and always received great service. This isn't a big branch but queues don't have long wait times. Staff are very accommodating and patient in explaining things, always get things done here in a timely matter.

  • Diogo Machado

The WORST bank! Customer service is absolutely RIDICULOUS! Don't expect to solve any problem in less than 5 calls, 4 of which they will hang up on you after you waited almost 30 minutes to speak to someone. TERRIBLE SERVICE! Honestly...

  • Jacob Mikkelsen

Went in to get some documents verified, and the whole process was quick and easy. Dailyn was very helpful, and helped me sort out some out of date information, and even got me a better interest rate on my savings account.

  • Anabil Shoishob

Paul, the manager of this branch is an absolute legend. He dug up my bank statements from 2015 in an urgent basis. He even offered and put me on a much better interest rate for my savings account. Best service ever!

  • Duvan Guillermo Gualteros Rey

Very good staff and quick service! Cesar helped me opening my netbank saver account. He helped me with all my inquiries, he is friendly and knows a lot. I will recommend Commonwealth Bank to my friends and family.

  • wallacek wallace

This is a poor excuse for a branch. It is understaffed, too small, and unhygienic. CBA should be very embarrassed by the standard of this branch. It is an offence to the wonderful and diverse community of Redfern

  • Rob Marston

Great team. Went in last week and friendly staff served me. Back today and Vivienne was very helpful with account admin - friendly, through, efficient and a great service to the Redfern Community - thank you

  • Nicholas Sabin

What kind of bank closes for lunch (12-1)? As if the opening hours weren’t bad enough, they close during the one period where people who work have time to go?

  • Meead Saberi

This was by far the worst Commonwealth Bank branch that I have visited. Long queus, unprofessional staff, irresponsible branch manager and I can go on and on.

Shutting the entire branch down for a lunch break when you had at least three staff on hand shows how little focus you have on your customers.
