The bank has announced a $374 million hit to its profits as part of its refunds to customers and related remediation costs.

The compensation has arisen from customers receiving inappropriate advice or for services not provided with former aligned dealer groups, as well as from compensation arising from product reviews.

The royal commission has also had a hit to its profits with external legal costs costing the banks $55 million (pre-tax) for the 2018 financial year.

“The consumer comes first, second and third. These financial entities have an obligation under their licences to act honestly, fairly and efficiently.”
