The Customer Owned Banking Association believes that the proposed deposits levy will reduce the annual profits of many small credit unions by around seven per cent. CUA estimates that its earnings will be cut by about six per cent, while People’s Choice Credit Union anticipates that its profit will be reduced by 5-7 per cent. The Australian Government will issue its response to the financial system inquiry before deciding whether to proceed with the levy.
