Financial Services Minister Kelly O’Dwyer has criticised the Commonwealth Bank’s move to impose a "regulatory reform fee" on members of its superannuation and pension funds. Super fund members have been told that the fee is to cover the cost of unspecified but "highly technical and complex" regulatory reforms. O’Dwyer says there appears to be no justification for the fee, and argues that customers’ retirement savings should not be used to meet compliance requirements.
