Kara Hurring is facing one charge of stealing $6,782,000 from Westpac together with Hui "Leo" Gao in Rotorua on April 24, 2009.
She is also charged, together with Gao, with eight counts of money laundering of varying amounts ranging from $361,000 and $500,000 at Auckland. These charges relate to a period between April 28 and May 5, 2009.
The smallest amount alleged is $361,000 while the largest is claimed to be $500,000. There are three charges relating to amounts of $500,000.
Hurring, who turns 32 next week, appeared composed in the dock as her counsel, Simon Lance, asked for her to be further remanded.
Judge Jocelyn Munroe ordered that she reappear in the same court on March 21 and remanded her on bail.
Her bail conditions remain suppressed.
Outside the court and with Hurring at his side, Mr Lance said she would be defending the charges and denied any involvement in them. He reminded a large media contingent that she had returned to the country voluntarily.
He said it would be inappropriate for him to make any further comment and asked reporters to respect Hurring and her family's privacy.
