ANZ PNG CEO Mark Baker says the move is to ensure alignment to ANZ’s global security standards.

The ‘Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)’ feature adds additional layers of security before a customer can access their internet banking account.

“We’re committed to continually improving our products and services to ensure they align with ANZ’s global security standards,” states Baker.

“This security feature will further protect our customers who use internet banking in an environment where cybercrime continues to grow.

Metropolitan Superintendent Anthony Wagambie Jr said the suspects were part of a gang that held up staff of a mobile phone company outside ANZ Bank, Market Branch.

“Good investigative work by Lae CID led to one of the suspects being intercepted whilst travelling on a vehicle along 7th Street,” Wagambie Jr said.  

“He led police to the next suspect.”

Wagambie Jr said the second suspect is currently out on Court bail for another armed robbery case.

“When he was taken to his residence for a search, the magazines of a pistol which was stolen were found.
