A Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA) submission to the financial system inquiry criticised Australia’s major banks for failing to adequately disclose their ownership of multibrands. A survey carried out by Essential Research on behalf of COBA found that nearly 75 per cent of respondents said the banks fail to do so, while more than 50 per cent were not sure which bank owns sub-brands such as Bank of Melbourne or Bankwest
