Australia banking giant ANZ has announced it will stop paying bonuses to financial planners selling its products, as it looks to change its banking practices in response to a royal commission focussing on misconduct in the sector.
National Australia Bank (NAB) is to exit its advice, platform, superannuation and asset management business by the end of 2019, according to the bank’s financial results.
Australia’s five largest banking and financial services institutions have paid a further A$21.4m in compensation to customers who suffered losses because of “non-compliant conduct” by financial advisers, taking the total to A$51.4m (£29m, $41m, €33m). More claims are expected.
Structural changes at NAB means the company’s general manager of wealth advice is leaving the company, Vam Funds has appointed a new director well known in the US mutual funds industry and M&G has made two internal fund manager appointments.
Two banned financial advisers from Australia are facing years in prison for their malpractice following a series of inquiries by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (Asic).
