西太平洋銀行假薪單醜聞曝光!




澳洲財管機構指西太銀行旗下按揭經紀部門涉偽造薪金單批核樓按貸款

(路透社報道)澳洲企業監管機構指出,澳洲第二大銀行西太平洋銀行(Westpac)旗下的按揭經紀部門RAMS Financial Group涉嫌利用偽造自不存在僱主的薪金單,批准樓按貸款。ASIC(澳洲證券及投資委員會)於周三提起訴訟,指控RAMS在2019年6月至2023年4月期間,廣泛進行無牌經營行為。

ASIC的指控內容來自西太銀行同意的事實陳述,並已提交聯邦民事訴訟。聲明中指出,部分偽造文件的來源不明,但在其他情況下,RAMS的加盟商或其員工明知情況下,提交了虛假文件或資料,甚至有共謀行為。

ASIC副主席Sarah Court表示,這些行為令原本不符合貸款資格的客戶得以獲批貸款,從而增加了RAMS加盟商的佣金收益。

ASIC補充指,RAMS承認曾與無牌按揭經紀合作,未能妥善監督其代表,存在多項管理缺失。

西太銀行回應指,RAMS已同意透過法院程序解決此事,並將繼續與ASIC合作,盡快結束訴訟。

2019年澳洲皇家委員會調查揭露多間金融機構在放貸前未有進行足夠盡職審查,導致監管加強。

ASIC正尋求對RAMS施加未公開的罰款,西太銀行則表示現有撥備足以應付訴訟開支。

西太銀行於2024年停止RAMS接受新樓按貸款申請,但繼續管理現有貸款。此舉令RAMS加盟商發起集體訴訟,指控西太銀行不當終止具潛力的業務,並對貸款處理錯誤負責。

一名加盟商發言人批評,在ASIC調查期間,加盟商並無獲得諮詢,且ASIC指控RAMS存在「系統性的組織治理失敗」及監督不足,反映西太銀行試圖將制度性失誤推卸給加盟商。

ASIC與西太銀行的首場聆訊日期尚未確定。

編者評論與啟示

這宗案件再次揭示金融機構內部監管漏洞及合規風險,尤其是在按揭貸款這類牽涉重大資金流動的業務中。RAMS作為西太銀行的子公司,竟然涉及偽造文件和無牌經營,暴露出銀行監管架構的嚴重不足。這不僅損害了消費者利益,也影響了整個金融市場的信譽。

值得關注的是,ASIC指控的「系統性組織治理失敗」反映了問題不單是個別員工行為,而是管理層對合規監控的疏忽。銀行在追求業績和佣金利益時,如何平衡風險管理與業務擴展,成為金融業面對的核心課題。

此外,西太銀行關閉RAMS接受新貸款申請的決定,雖有助於止損,但亦激發加盟商不滿,促使他們採取法律行動。這揭示了金融機構多層次業務模式中,總行與加盟商之間的責任劃分和利益衝突問題,值得業界深思。

從監管角度看,2019年皇家委員會的警示並未徹底根治金融機構的合規問題,反映出監管執行和企業文化改變的艱難。未來,金融機構須加強內部監察及合規培訓,監管機構亦需提升監察力度,防止類似事件重演。

整體而言,這次事件提醒香港及全球金融市場參與者,必須持續關注金融合規風險,切勿為短期利益而忽視長遠的制度建設和企業社會責任。只有真正建立起透明、負責的金融環境,消費者和市場才可獲得應有保障。

Use my uploaded female subject as the ONLY face reference — her face, bone structure, proportions, and identity must remain 100% accurate. She is sitting low and relaxed on a worn vintage couch inside a messy 90s-era bedroom, dripping with grunge attitude and self-confidence. The entire room tells a story of obsession — the walls are completely covered in posters, photos, magazine clippings, and polaroids of HER, all different versions of her: glam looks, grungy looks, party looks, soft looks, edgy looks, all chaotic and layered, taped and pinned unevenly like a shrine to herself. Wardrobe: She wears an oversized, slouchy dark hoodie left open, revealing a white tube top underneath. The outfit is provocative but raw — lots of exposed skin at the waist, collarbones, shoulders, and legs. The vibe is unapologetically sexy, rebellious, and confident. Bare legs or very short bottoms, worn sneakers or socks, very lived-in 90s styling.
Hair & makeup: Hair is messy, slightly undone, effortlessly sexy. Makeup is grungy-glam — smoky eyes, dark liner, slightly smudged, natural but seductive skin texture. No over-polish.
Pose & expression:
She sits back into the couch with dominant, careless confidence — legs apart or casually stretched, shoulders relaxed. Her expression is sultry, knowing, and powerful, like she’s fully aware the entire room revolves around her. She looks down toward the camera, owning the frame.
Camera & composition:
The camera is placed very low on the floor, angled sharply upward toward her, creating dramatic depth perception. Her legs and body feel larger in the foreground, her face looming above, while the poster-covered walls stretch upward behind her, creating a warped, immersive perspective. Slight wide-angle distortion for intensity. Lighting: Moody, low-light bedroom lighting — a mix of cool blue tones and dirty warm highlights. Neon or lamp glow spills across the posters. Shadows fall unevenly across the room, adding grit and texture. Film grain, subtle motion blur energy, raw 90s music-video atmosphere. Overall vibe: Sexy, grungy, chaotic, self-obsessed
