An environmental advocacy group has claimed Australia’s biggest banks are pouring billions into fossil fuel industries.
The bank tweeted that it was “a technology issue relating to a third party vendor”.
The bank’s cash profits declined 7 percent to $3.55 billion in the first six months ended March 31, 2024.
The decision by the Australian Competition Tribunal paves the way for the $4.9 billion takeover.
The bank’s cash profit was 14 percent higher than the previous year.
ANZ failed to disclose to the public that its underwriters purchased about one-third of its $2.5 billion institutional share placement in 2015.
