Australia's banks face the prospect of a Senate inquiry into their behaviour unless the Federal Government agrees to set up an independent inquiry into the financial system along the lines proposed by six public policy economists.
The last such inquiry, chaired by business figure Stan Wallis, reported in 1997. Greens leader Bob Brown said the financial system had changed since then with the banks lifting their share of new loans to 89.4 per cent from 85 per cent in the past year. "If the Government fails to act (the Greens) will move to establish a Senate inquiry into Australia's banking system when the Senate resumes in August," he said.

Sydney, 18 February, 2009: The Australian Bankers' Association (ABA) has today expressed surprise at the Finance Sector Union (FSU) statement which criticised bank charges, including ATM fees.

Since the global financial crisis, funding costs have increased and revenue is under pressure. ATM reform will potentially reduce bank revenue in this business category.

Total fraud rates, however, saw a small increase due to a rise in credit card fraud, but compared to the millions of transactions that flow through the payments system, fraud is still at low levels. Steven Münchenberg, Chief Executive of the ABA, said: “Banks take fraud prevention very seriously. Banks have in place computer systems for comprehensive monitoring of transactions and staff expert in fraud identification. This protects customers and detects fraud. For example, the banks’ systems can detect suspicious activity and immediately take action to protect your account.” The ABA was pleased to see that debit card fraud rates have dropped to record lows. Credit cards are a convenient, safe and flexible method of payment accepted here and overseas. Banks and the Australian Economy.
