Commbank to close FinWis in 2020
The Commonwealth Bank has declared it will cease to provide licensee services through Financial Wisdom by June, next year.
The big banking group used the release of full-year results to the Australian Securities Exchange to announce that it intended to cease providing licensee services through Financial Wisdom by June 2020 and would proceed with an assisted closure.
It said that the Commonwealth Bank would support advisers through an orderly transition to alternative arrangements, including self-licensing and joining another licensee.
“CBA will also continue to manage customer remediation arising from past issues at Financial Wisdom,” it said.
