A former bank employee has been allowed to open a new bank account as she prepares to fight allegations she used her role to defraud banks.
Police allege Sara Daizli opened accounts under fictitious names and defrauded hundreds of thousands of dollars between February 2016 and December 2018.
He allegedly diverted money into his bank account under a false name and used the ill-gotten gains to fund a lavish lifestyle.
The 32-year-old is also accused of making fraudulent loan applications to St George and ANZ banks.
He pleaded not guilty to a total of 120 charges, including dealing in the proceeds of crime and 108 counts of dishonestly obtaining a financial advantage by deception.
On Monday, Ms Daizli’s lawyer asked the court for permission to open a new bank account in her name as she prepares to fight the claims against her.
As part of her strict bail conditions, the former bank employee is prohibited from interacting with any financial institution except to operate an existing bank account in her name.
The prosecution did not oppose his request for permission to open another bank account.

Ms Daizli has been allowed to open a new bank account as she prepares to fight allegations that she used her position to defraud banks.
The request was granted by Judge Mark Williams, who ordered Ms Daizli to provide details of the new bank account to police within 24 hours of opening it.
Court documents show the 32-year-old remains subject to strict bail conditions, including a ban on working in finance.
She personally agreed to forfeit $550,000 if she fails to appear in court, while two people who know her offered an additional guarantee of $1,050,000 to ensure she shows up.
Ms Daizli will return to court next week for a hearing on disputed issues ahead of a trial in the New South Wales District Court in September.
He also faces civil proceedings brought by Westpac Bank in connection with his alleged fraud.
