The Customer Owned Banking Code of Practice
The Customer Owned Banking Code of Practice (COBCOP) is a code of practice for Australia's customer owned banks, credit unions and building societies which outlines how they will deliver on their pledge to always put customers first. It has been developed in close consultation with the community, government and consumer groups.
What does this mean for CMCU Customers?
Customers of customer owned banks like BankWAW can have confidence in knowing they are covered by a plain English commitment to fair and responsible banking. The Code is just another example of the value customer owned banks like WAW place on improving the financial wellbeing of their customers and their communities.
What does it mean to be part of a mutual like CMCU
As we are owned by our customers, we are focused on customer-benefit, community involvement, fairer fees and superior levels of service. We exist to serve our customers, not simply to drive high profits for external shareholders.
