Advertising Policy

1. Current status: no third-party advertising

At present this website displays no third-party advertisements. There are no ad slots, no ad scripts, no demand-side platform tags and no affiliate links. Editorial content is written independently and is not influenced by any commercial arrangement.

2. If advertising is ever introduced

Should advertising or sponsored content be introduced in the future, the following rules will apply from day one:

• Clear labelling. Any paid or sponsored placement will be visibly labelled "Sponsored" or "Advertisement" immediately adjacent to the content, before a user interacts with it.
• Separation from editorial. Sponsored content will never be styled to imitate guide articles, FAQ answers or security advice.
• No deceptive claims. Advertisements must not misrepresent products, fees, returns or affiliations. Claims of endorsement by CommBank or any bank are prohibited unless documented.
• No financial-product ads without disclosure. Any advertisement for credit, lending or investment products must include the disclosures required in the advertiser's jurisdiction.

3. Alignment with Bing / Microsoft Advertising policies

Any advertising served to or from this website will comply with Microsoft Advertising policies applicable to Bing search and its network, including:

• Editorial & professional requirements — accurate, non-sensational copy with no misleading claims;
• Financial services restrictions — only licensed providers may advertise regulated products, with required risk warnings;
• Prohibited content — no malware, phishing, deceptive downloads, adult content, or content promoting financial schemes;
• Landing page quality — destination pages must be transparent about their purpose, ownership and privacy practices.

4. Trademark and brand references

This website references "CommBank" and "NetBank" descriptively, as the subject of an independent guide. Such references are nominative and do not imply affiliation, endorsement or sponsorship. Advertisers are prohibited from using these marks in a way that suggests an official relationship.

5. Retargeting and behavioural advertising

We do not build user profiles and do not permit retargeting pixels or behavioural advertising scripts on this domain. See the Cookie Policy for the technical detail.

6. Reporting concerns

If you ever see content on this site that appears to be undisclosed advertising, or an advertisement elsewhere claiming to be from this website, report it through the contact channels published in the domain registration records for commbank.cn.com. We will review and remove non-compliant content promptly.

7. Changes

Material changes to this policy will be announced on the homepage and reflected in the effective date above.
