If you obtained a Comminsure life or income protection insurance policy through a financial adviser licensed by CBA, you may have been wrongfully overcharged.
Shine Lawyers is investigating a class action on behalf of thousands of Comminsure policy holders; we believe they may have been unlawfully overcharged and should be fairly compensated.
What is the CBA CommInsure Class Action Investigation about?
Shine Lawyers is investigating a class action on behalf of people who obtained Comminsure life or income protection policies through financial advisers appointed by:
- Commonwealth Financial Planning Limited (CFPL)
- Financial Wisdom Limited (FWL)
- BW Financial Advice (BWFA)
It is alleged that these financial advisers, who may have operated under other business names:
- Did not act in their clients’ best interests, by failing to inform their clients that they could obtain substantially similar or better insurance policies from alternative insurers for lower premiums
- Were incentivised through commissions and other financial and non-financial benefits to recommend insurance through CBA’s related party Comminsure Limited, resulting in their clients paying unfairly higher premiums
We believe these clients should be compensated for the excess premiums they paid as a result of this unethical financial advice and conduct.
Important Information
CFPL, FWL and BWFA are all related licensees of the Commonwealth Bank of Australian (CBA)
Comminsure’s policies may include death, TPD, trauma, income protection and/or business protection insurance.
