A CBA spokesperson has apologised and moved to reassure customers that no-one will be charged fees or interest 'as a result of this problem’.

“The Bank is continuing to work to identify the cause. Our technical teams are working to rectify the issue and reverse these duplicated transactions as a priority.”
The spokesperson advised any customers impacted ‘and who are seeking immediate cash [to] visit one of our branches’.
