The use of SMS in providing additional security levels for customers has been rolled out by the Commonwealth Ban to 30,000 of its most active NerBank customers.

The service will be free to customers.

The Commonwealth Bank is offering more than 2.3 million customers access to free SMS authentication as the Bank begins the final phase in its two-factor authentication program for internet banking service, NetBank.
