CommBank Kaching for Facebook is a new app that will give Australia's 12 million Facebook users access to everyday banking and payments on their favorite social network. Based on the popular Kaching mobile payments app, the new app lets users pay back money owed or make cash gifts to friends of family for birthdays or weddings. The app also allows a customer to view transaction history within the Facebook website.

"With Facebook popularity skyrocketing to more than 55 percent of the population in Australia, we know our customers, particularly Facebook's core user base of 18-35 year olds, are looking for new ways to connect their banking and their lives, friends and causes within Facebook," states Commonwealth Bank's chief marketing and online officer, Andy Lark. "So what better way to respond than by giving them access to everyday banking and payments on their favorite social network?"

Accessed directly from the Commonwealth Bank Kaching Facebook page, the app is a scaled down version of a typical online banking app optimized for mobile using responsive design.
