Australian bank fined for AML failures; regulators demand $50M capital boost and reform.
Australian regulators APRA and AUSTRAC have taken action against Bendigo and Adelaide Bank over serious deficiencies in its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing controls, following a Deloitte review that found systemic weaknesses from 2019 to 2025.
The review, triggered by undetected suspicious activity at a branch, revealed failures in risk management, prompting APRA to require a $50 million capital add-on and a root cause analysis, while AUSTRAC launched an enforcement probe into compliance with anti-money laundering laws.
The bank, though financially stable, has committed to strengthening its risk culture and systems.
