Australia’s ANZ Bank fined A$250M for misconduct including flawed bond sales and misleading customers.
Australia’s ANZ Bank has been ordered to pay a record A$250 million fine by the Federal Court for widespread misconduct, including improper handling of a $14 billion government bond sale, inaccurate reporting on bond market turnover, and failures in customer service.
The penalty, the largest ever secured by ASIC against a single entity, stems from four separate violations, including charging improper fees, misleading customers on interest rates, and failing to address hardship requests.
The court ruled the original ASIC penalty was too low, calling the misconduct “inexcusable” and highlighting systemic governance failures across retail and institutional divisions.
The decision underscores regulatory and judicial scrutiny of financial institutions’ risk management and accountability.
