Former ANZ boss Shayne Elliott has lodged legal action against the bank after it denied him $13.5 million in bonuses as a result of the bank’s regulatory woes.
Elliott lodged the claim in the Supreme Court of NSW, the Australian Financial Review and The Australian first reported on Friday.

ANZ’s annual report, published in November, said neither Elliott nor his successor, Nuno Matos, had received a short-term bonus for the 2025 year, and the bank had also cancelled incentives that Elliott had been due to receive.
The ANZ board took the action, and also decided to pay no short-term bonuses to its top Australian-based executives, after ANZ earlier this year agreed to a $240 million penalty to settle four separate legal cases from the corporate watchdog. In doing so, it admitted to unconscionable conduct on a major government bond deal, incorrect reporting of trading data, and misconduct affecting nearly 65,000 customers.
