ANZ has announced that its full year 2018 cash profit will be impacted by additional charges, including for customer compensation.

In an announcement released today, the big banking group said that charges of $378 million had been recognised in the second half “for refunds to customers and related remediation costs”.

It said these related to issues that had been identified from reviews to date which remained ongoing.

“Approximately 57 per cent relates to customer refunds impacting revenue, with the balance relating to remediation costs recorded as an expense. The total remediation charge is split approximately 66 per cent/34 per cent between continuing and discontinued operations,” the announcement said.

It said the key items of customer remediation included:

  • Compensating customers for issues arising from product reviews in the Australia Division.  
  • Compensation for customers receiving inappropriate advice or for services not provided within ANZ’s former aligned dealer groups.
