New Zealand Bankers’ Association chief executive Sarah Mehrtens said it was delighted Internal Affairs was proceeding with the expansion of iGovt services to the private sector. “Internal Affairs is presenting to our members on the developments shortly and we are looking forward to further information on how these services will be of use to our member banks and their customers. For example, identity verification is important to banks in combating instances of fraud. It will also improve systems for compliance with the new anti-money laundering legislation.”
