Sony hands Bravia TV control to TCL in 51-49 tie-up — what changes next

AUSTRAC hits Airwallex with mandatory AML audit as watchdog tightens fintech checks

Australia’s financial crime watchdog has mandated an external audit of payments company Airwallex, citing worries over its adherence to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations. The regulator aims to verify if the fintech’s controls adequately address the risks tied to cross-border fund transfers. This comes as AUSTRAC intensifies oversight of rapidly expanding payments and remittance firms, where poor controls can enable money laundering. The regulator didn’t allege any criminal wrongdoing by Airwallex, but it has mandated an independent review, paid for by the company, with the audit report expected within 180 days.
