Westpac, ANZ front banks royal commission
A week of damaging revelations for Australia's biggest financial players at the banking royal commission will end with Westpac and ANZ having to defend bad advice given by their planners. After days of damning evidence about customers being charged fees for financial advice they never received, the royal commission has turned its focus to inappropriate advice. Westpac has already admitted a senior planner gave poor advice to a couple who wanted to use their superannuation to buy a property where they could live and run a bed and breakfast business, a strategy that was never a viable option for them.

Westpac's record keeping was 'sloppy': CEO
Westpac chief executive Brian Hartzer says the bank had been sloppy rather than deliberately negligent in its checks on whether potential customers could repay their mortgages. "We have been a little sloppy on some of the record keeping but I think it is drawing a pretty long bow when you look at the actual performance and of credit quality of the banks over a long period of time to suggest that there is something fundamentally wrong," Mr Hartzer told a business summit in Sydney on Thursday. The banking royal commission has heard Westpac and the Commonwealth Bank had flawed processes for making sure home loan applicants were telling the truth about their income, expenses and debts.
