Commonwealth Bank is closing numerous suburban branches, including my local branch in Williamstown, Victoria.
What is really outrageous is how Commonwealth Bank fobs off its' customers to the Post Office, a much smaller venue with fewer staff who are already busy.
"Are you ready to Bank@Post?" says the sign bluetacked to the door of Commonwealth Bank in Williamstown.
Commonwealth Bank are not showing respect for their customers (including passbook customers) and don't want to provide personal service to local businesses and residents.
That's why I'm calling this latest round of Commonwealth Bank branch closures "outrageous."
I've been able to find announcements about these CBA branches closing:
Williamstown VIC (closing November 2026)
Altona VIC (closing November 2026)
