  • Regional Banks - Bank of Queensland, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, ME Bank and Suncorp Bank
    26 May 2015 The Hon. Bruce Billson MP Minister for Small Business c/- General Manager Small Business, Competition and Consumer Policy Division The Treasury Langton Crescent PARKES ACT 2600 Dear Minister, Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission to the Commonwealth Treasury as part of the consultation on the recommendations of the Final Report of the Competition Policy Review. This submission is made on behalf of the Regional Banks - Bank of Queensland, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, ME Bank and Suncorp Bank. These four banks made a comprehensive submission1 to the Government’s Financial System Inquiry (FSI) last year which covers many aspects of competition in retail banking. The Final Report of the Competition Policy Review has made significant recommendations to reform competition policy across a number of priority areas. The purpose of this submission is to highlight key issues in our FSI Submission that we believe are also relevant to the Competition Policy Review. While these issues have not been specifically addressed in the Competition Policy Review Final Report, we believe they are important to achieve genuine competition in retail banking, fostered through a fair, transparent and open banking system.
