July 30 (Reuters) - Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) said on Thursday it is making additional provisions of A$300 million ($215.67 million) in its annual results to remediate customers across its aligned advice businesses.

The country's largest lender exited its aligned financial advice business last year after a government-backed inquiry into the financial sector in 2018 exposed widespread systematic misconduct, prompting CBA and its "Big Four" banking peers to incur hefty amounts to compensate customers.

CBA said in a statement total remediation provisions recognised to date now stands at A$834 million, which largely consists of customer refunds.

The coronavirus crisis has added further pressure on Australian banks, which now see margins threatened due to record-low interest rates, rising unemployment and more bad loans.

The Sydney-based lender had booked A$1.5 billion in provisions in the third quarter to cover future pandemic-related loan losses.
