In the fraught aftermath of AUSTRAC's explosive denouncement of CBA, rumours were aired by other media outlets that maybe ANZ's and Westpac's intelligent ATMs were also used by criminal gangs to wash cash before depositing and then exporting it.ANZ was quickly out of the blocks, with an extensive rebuttal of any links to the CBA case.          Its media team insisted that ANZ has systems in place to ensure it complies with anti-money laundering obligations, including processes to monitor and report suspicious activity. They asserted that ANZ also complies with its obligation to conduct thorough 'know your customer' checks and to report all overseas funds transfers to AUSTRAC. AUSTRAC reviewed ANZ's ATMs and intelligent deposit machines in late 2015 and advised ANZ in February 2017 that it found no evidence of non-compliance with anti-money laundering regulation, the ANZ note disclosed. Most tellingly, ANZ said it completed a thorough risk assessment prior to the introduction of its Smart ATMs in 2013, which saw deposits limited to A$5,000."We understand our role in keeping the Australian financial system safe. We have systems in place, including training for every staff member, to ensure we comply with our anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing obligations," said Nigel William, ANZ's chief risk officer."We strongly support AUSTRAC's role in disrupting serious financial crime and will continue to meet our obligations to monitor and report suspicious activity to AUSTRAC and the Australian Federal Police," Williams said.  Westpac was more circumspect. A spokesperson offered this generic defence to Banking Day: "While we don't comment on individual cases, Westpac has robust systems in place to detect and report suspicious transactions, including large transactions, deposit structuring and cuckoo smurfing."More telling was the observation that the maximum amount of cash that can be deposited into Westpac's Smart ATMs is $4,000.These statements may not close off the latest bank scandal. A low-level money mule, initially pulled over for speaking on his mobile phone while driving, and found to have over $60,000 in cash, reportedly told police that he also used Westpac, NAB and St George ATMs.Nonetheless, AUSTRAC action against another big retail bank seems inevitable.
