ACCC approves Armaguard bailout by major banks, grocery giants and Australia Post

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has provided interim authorisation for a $50 million bailout of transporter Armaguard from the country’s biggest banks and retailers. The ACCC approved the bailout on Wednesday. The agreement, funded by the Commonwealth, Westpac, NAB and ANZ banks, along with Coles, Woolworths, Wesfarmers and Australia Post, means Armaguard will receive monthly payments for the next 12 months in exchange for efficiency and restructuring requirements.

Buying time Armaguard is Australia’s sole distributor of banknotes and coins after merging with competitor Prosegur in 2023 and there are concerns the country’s cash economy would not survive if the company folded. The deal buys time for the country’s biggest businesses to come up with a plan if Armaguard fails.
