SYDNEY—Australia’s prudential regulator said on Wednesday that money-laundering accusations leveled at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia do not challenge the bank’s viability.

The country’s biggest lender was sued by financial intelligence agency AUSTRAC on Aug. 3 over 53,700 suspected breaches of money-laundering laws between 2012 and 2015.
