	The banks are regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) in Australia. APRA is responsible for regulating much of the financial industry, including insurance and superannuation companies. Institution seeking to be prudentially regulated as an authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) is required to be authorised under the Banking Act 1959 (the Banking Act). The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) is responsible for the authorisation process. Section 5 of the Banking Act defines ‘banking business’ as consisting of both taking deposits (other than as part-payment for identified goods or services) and making advances of money, as well as other financial activities prescribed by regulations made under the Banking Act. The Banking Act only allows corporations to carry on banking business in Australia, which means APRA cannot consider applications from partnerships or unincorporated entities. ADIs are subject to rigorous and close supervision by APRA, which requires the ADI to comply with a range of requirements contained in Prudential Standards and provide comprehensive data to APRA under Reporting Standards.
