This is the version of the Banking Code of Practice that took effect on 1 March 2021, a variation of the 1 March 2020 Release. It has now been superseded. This version of the code has been replaced by the October 5 2021 Version.
Temporary changes to the Banking Code of Practice reflect that the COVID-19 pandemic may temporarily affect the provision of banking services.
Changes to the Banking Code of Practice as recommended by the Royal Commission will go live tomorrow.
““These changes to the Code are in addition to a number of actions already taken by banks as a direct result of the Royal Commission”, ABA CEO Anna Bligh.
