External market environment 1.1. In November the Australian Bankers' Association held an Open Banking symposium attended by banks, consumer groups and regulators. Data security was a key focus of the forum, particularly in light of major data breaches including Equifax, Yahoo and most recently Uber. 1.1.1 . CBA supports a model that provides safe data exchange where the customer initiates data transfers via Netbank, rather than third parties linking to CBA systems to 'pull' customer data. Under this model, 'screen-scraping' which involves customers disclosing their passwords and putting themselves at high risk, should no longer be justified. 1.2. Apple Pay has launched a trial in the U.S that enables customers to send and receive payments using Apple Pay over iMessage. Sim ilarly, Facebook Messenger has launched a Peer-to-Peer payment feature in the U.K. This functionality will be in direct competition with Beem, the CBA led industry digital wallet solution for the Australian market. 2. Vision and Values 2.1. In October we announced the removal of fees for electronic transactions for Streamline transaction accounts. Previous charges included $0.30 for transfers, payments or direct debits; and $0.50 for purchase transactions above a volume based threshold. Also removed were monthly account fees for our Equity Unlock for Seniors (EQFS) product, a type of reverse mortgage; while fees for International Money Transfers (IMTs) below $1000, processed through NetBank or the Comm Bank app, were reduced from $22 to $6. 2.2. From January 2018, schools participating in our School Banking program will receive fundraising support under a revised payment structure. Schools will receive an annual contribution each calendar year when the first School Banking deposit is processed, based on the number of participating students alongside a Regular Savers Contribution of $5 for every 10 deposits processed per student. This new structure aligns closely with the program's value of teaching kids the importance of regular savings behaviour. 2.3. Progressively since October 2017, credit card customers using the CommBank app have been alerted in real-time that when they make a high cost credit card transaction (such as an ATM cash advance or online gambling) that these transactions incur cash advance fees and interest. 2.3.1. CBA has commenced working with expert researchers in the field of gambling and gambling related behaviour from the University of Sydney. This partnership will help the Bank make informed decisions on the courses of action to take with the development of digital tools aimed to help our customers better manage their financial wellbeing. 2.4. From November 2017, customers received real-time alerts, reminding them their credit card payment is due. If their payment becomes overdue, _R CBA.0502.0001.802 1_0094 CON Fl DENTIAL customers will receive an additional alert advising them if they make their payment by midnight the following day, they will not incur a late payment fee. 3. Customer satisfaction performance 3.1. CBA leads the major banks for the Retail MFI Net Promoter Score (NPS) in October despite declining 0.2 to +1 .1. NAB improved to second place on +0.2, Westpac declined to third place on -1.1 and ANZ remains in fourth place on -4.6. 3.2. CBA continues in first place for overall Digital NPS, up 0.4 to +27.8. CBA's mobile app achieved a record high score of +34.5 and has margin of 10 points over NAB in second place. 4. Talent development and people engagement 4.1. In September we launched a new employee offer that will enable spouses of retired CBA employees to apply for a Low Fee Credit Card with no annual fee for the life of the card. This will help our customers during the estate planning process and in the unfortunate event where the retired officer passes away to provide the spouse with the financial means to continue to meet their day-to-day living expenses while the estate is finalised. 4.1 .1. We are also reviewing our employee benefits for both our current and former employees and will be making some improvements in the new year.

  • 2013/14: a Very Good Year
    Economic Insights Economics | July 1 2014 2013/14: A very good year Economic & financial perspectives A good year: Total returns on Australian shares (All Ordinaries Accumulation index) rose by 17.6 per cent in 2013/14 after lifting by 20.7 per cent in 2012/13 – the best back-to back returns in seven years. Other returns higher: Returns on dwellings are up 14.7 per cent while returns on government bonds have lifted by 5.4 per cent. A rare event – bonds, property and shares have all lifted over the past year. Financial markets: The Aussie dollar held in a US11 cent range over 2013/14, the smallest range in eight years. The cash rate stands at a 54-year low of 2.50 per cent with only one change in the year – the quarter percent rate cut in August 2013. Impressive economic credentials: The economy is recording ‘above-average’ growth; inflation is contained; interest rates are at 54-year lows; and the current account deficit is the best (lowest) in 34 years. The report is useful to assist investors start planning for 2014/15 What does it all mean? Overall, it has been a positive year, despite a raft of challenges such as geopolitical events (Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Ukraine and Iraq, to name a few), the Federal Election, the shutdown of the US Government and even weather events like the harsh winter experienced in the Northern Hemisphere. Returns on shares, residential property and bonds have all lifted over the past year while interest rates and the Aussie dollar have ended little-changed on a year ago.

  • A Year of Consolidation
    Economic Insights Economics | July 12015 2014/15: A Year of Consolidation Economic & financial perspectives Unfulfilled expectations: Total returns on Australian shares (All Ordinaries Accumulation index) grew by 5.7 per cent over 2014/15 after rising by 17.6 per cent in 2013/14 (20-year average +10.3 per cent). Notably, back in late April, the total return index was at record highs and on track to 14.5 per cent annual gains. Other returns higher: Returns on dwellings grew by 14.1 per cent in 2014/15 with returns on government bonds up by 5.8 per cent. So for the second year, bonds, property and shares have all lifted. The report is useful to assist investors to start planning for 2015/16 What does it all mean? In late April, total returns on Australian shares (shares prices and dividends) were at record highs. And the ASX 200 was on the cusp of breaking through 6,000 points. But a raft of jitters served to drag the sharemarket lower over the final two months of the 2015 financial year. So, 2014/15 can be best described as a year of consolidation for investors. Greece returned to haunt investors. Interest rates were trimmed to all-time lows. A stimulatory Federal Budget was unveiled. China continued to rebalance its economy, as did Australia. The US Federal Reserve still hadn’t decided to lift interest rates. And higher bond yields served to check the upward progress of global sharemarkets. But despite the challenges, returns on shares, residential property and bonds all lifted over the past year while interest rates and the Aussie dollar ended lower than a year ago.
