澳洲西太平洋銀行旗下RAMS財務集團與證券監管機構達成和解

澳洲西太平洋銀行(Westpac)於週三宣布,其子公司RAMS財務集團已與澳洲證券及投資委員會(ASIC)達成協議,解決關於該公司對其加盟商及員工行為監督的調查。這宗調查涉及RAMS在安排房屋貸款過程中存在系統性不當行為。

ASIC已向聯邦法院提出民事罰款訴訟,指控RAMS在2019年6月至2023年4月期間,存在廣泛的無牌經營行為。ASIC副主席Sarah Court指出,RAMS容許違法行為發生,令本來可能不符合貸款資格的客戶獲得貸款,從而提高了加盟商的佣金收入。

監管機構表示,RAMS已承認與無牌人士進行業務往來,未能適當監督其代表,及其他相關疏忽。2024年8月,西太平洋銀行立即停止RAMS接收新的房屋貸款申請,但仍保留其管理中的貸款。

此決定是母公司在戰略檢討後作出的,該檢討曾考慮出售RAMS業務,並配合ASIC對RAMS及其加盟商的評估。西太平洋銀行預計現有的財務準備金足以應對訴訟結果,惟仍需待法院批准。

ASIC現正尋求對RAMS作出法定聲明及財務罰款。首場聆訊日期尚未確定。

編者評論:監管缺失與金融機構的責任

RAMS事件突顯了金融機構在監控加盟商及員工行為方面的嚴重不足。容許無牌經營,尤其是在房貸這類高度監管的範疇,不但損害了借款人的利益,也破壞了市場的公平性。西太平洋銀行作為大行,理應負起更嚴格的監督責任,確保旗下子公司和加盟商遵守規範。

從戰略層面看,西太平洋銀行選擇關閉RAMS的新貸款業務,反映出其對品牌風險及合規問題的重視,但也透露出該業務已經失去可持續發展的競爭力。對投資者而言,這起事件可能成為評估西太平洋銀行風險管理和未來增長潛力的重要指標。

此外,ASIC積極介入並提出民事罰款訴訟,展示了澳洲監管機構對金融市場不法行為的零容忍態度。這對整個金融行業是一個警示,促使其他機構加強合規監管,避免類似事件重演。

總結來說,這宗案件不僅是對RAMS的懲戒,更是對整個金融生態系統合規文化的深刻反思。未來金融機構必須在風險管理和監督機制上投入更多資源,才能贏得市場和消費者的信任。

Model and Styling
• Model: A female model with elegant features and dark, curly hair, posed looking over her shoulder towards the camera. Her expression is confident and alluring.
• Outfit: She is wearing a two-piece outfit (or a playsuit/romper) entirely covered in black and white polka dots.
• Top: A loose, long-sleeved shirt, worn off one shoulder, showcasing the neckline. The polka dots on the shirt appear slightly smaller and more uniform.
• Bottom: Matching shorts or a skirt with a tight, fitted silhouette, emphasizing her figure. The polka dots here appear slightly denser.
• Hat: A defining accessory—a dramatically oversized sun hat with a wide, floppy brim. The crown is white, and the large, voluminous brim is patterned with large black and white polka dots, cascading down. A black fabric tie/ribbon is visible around the crown.
• Accessories: Large, circular or crescent-shaped gold earrings dangle from her ears.
Lighting and Setting
• Lighting: Natural, bright, direct sunlight creating a warm, sun-kissed, and slightly nostalgic aesthetic. The overall color palette leans towards desaturated pastels and warm creamy whites.
• Setting: She is positioned on a rooftop, terrace, or balcony, with a hazy, mountainous or coastal landscape visible in the blurred background. The background is predominantly soft blues and pale purples, suggesting a distant view over a city or ocean.
• Composition: A vertical, full-body to three-quarter shot. The model is the central focus, framed against the soft background.
