The Federal Court of Australia fined Macquarie Bank A$10 million $6.4 million for failing to stop third parties from making unauthorized fee transacti

The Federal Court of Australia fined Macquarie Bank A$10 million $6.4 million for failing to stop third parties from making unauthorized fee transactions on its customers accounts.

The banks parent business, Macquarie Group, committed to paying the penalties and compensating the impacted clients. ASIC Chair Joe Longo emphasized that the fraudulent actions resulted from Macquaries violation of statutory responsibilities. Read More..
