44233 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Does the Minister believe there are banks in New Zealand that have not put enough protections in place to help prevent online fraud and scams?

Hon Scott Simpson: I commend the banking sector for uplifting its protections and its willingness to improve anti-scam measures, and I expect them to continue prioritising scam prevention.
