Market Chatter: Westpac Bankers Questioned by APRA Over Deficiencies in Small-Business Lending

MT Newswires Live

06/19

Westpac Banking (ASX:WBC, NZE:WBC) bankers including business banking chief Paul Fowler were questioned by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) this week over a range of shortcomings in the company's small-business lending operations, the Australian Financial Review reported Friday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.

APRA talked to more than 20 Westpac bankers after an internal report from late April flagged lax supervision and controls within the bank's small and medium-sized business unit, including violations of credit limits and unsatisfactory risk management, according to the report.

The regulator and Westpac did not immediately reply to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
