Bendigo and Adelaide Bank(本迪戈阿德莱德银行)股东在年度股东大会上通过了薪酬报告,支持率为84.8%。该行正面临澳大利亚交易报告与分析中心(AUSTRAC)的调查,涉及其反洗钱义务。德勤(Deloitte)的审查发现,在一家分行出现可疑活动后,该行存在严重缺陷。澳大利亚审慎监管局(APRA)要求该行额外增加5000万澳元的运营风险资本,整改计划预计在三年内耗资7000万澳元。首席执行官Richard Fennell表示,他最终负有责任,解决这些问题是他的首要任务。
Shareholders at Bendigo and Adelaide Bank passed the remuneration report at the annual general meeting, with 84.8 per cent in support. The bank faces an AUSTRAC investigation into its money laundering obligations, after a Deloitte review found serious shortcomings following suspicious activity at one branch. APRA has required an extra $50 million in operational risk capital, and the rectification plan is expected to cost $70 million over three years. Chief executive Richard Fennell said he was ultimately accountable and that fixing the issues was his number one priority.
National Australia Bank has announced plans to cut 2500 roles, about six per cent of its workforce, over the full financial year. The bank said 1500 jobs will go before the end of 2026. Finance Sector Union national assistant secretary Nicole McPherson said the timing was poor, with many staff already under heavy workloads. Bank chief executive Andrew Irvine said the changes aim to improve efficiency and would not directly affect customer-facing positions. Union officials have asked whether artificial intelligence is behind the cuts, and the bank has not yet answered.
国民银行(National Australia Bank,简称NAB)表示,将在2027财年裁减多达2,500个内部岗位,约占其员工总数的6%。其中多达1,500个岗位将在2026年底前裁减。该行还计划减少对顾问和外部承包商的使用。首席执行官Andrew Irvine表示,面向客户的银行业务岗位不会受到重大影响。此次重组预计成本约为3亿澳元。西太银行(Westpac)也已开始重组,但表示目前已裁减102个岗位。
