“The charges relate to allegations that between 2011 and 2015, CBA made false or misleading representations to customers that the insurance policies had uses or benefits to those customers when part or all the benefits were not available.”
It said the matter is being prosecuted by the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions.
“CBA has cooperated with ASIC’s investigation to date. The matter is to be listed for first mention in the Federal Court, Sydney, on a date to be fixed,” the ASIC announcement said.
