Its business banking internet platform Commbiz was set for roll out to registered "early adopters" at the end of this year. The bank said the merger of its Global Markets and Treasury trading operations had been completed.

On customer service, CBA said it had run workshops to "reinforce the behaviours that support the Bank’s vision to be Australia’s finest financial services organisation through excelling in customer service".

"It is pleasing to see that the momentum we have in achieving our four strategic priorities has been maintained in the first quarter of the financial year," CBA chief executive, Ralph Norris, said.
