Ryan Vernon is facing 20 charges of stealing and three of gaining benefit by fraud.
On Tuesday he faced Fremantle Magistrates Court, where the matter was remanded until a later date in order for him to gain further legal advice.
Mr Vernon, 35 was charged as part of an investigation into the theft of money from bank accounts between 2011 and 2013.
Police released details about the alleged offences when Mr Vernon was charged earlier this year.
At the time police spokesman Sam Dinnison said it would be alleged Mr Vernon accessed the bank accounts of customers and transferred money into other accounts for personal use.
“It will be further alleged the accused applied for loans in the name of another person and, once approved, accessed the funds in excess of $90,000,” Mr Dinnison said.
“In total the funds taken from customer bank accounts was in excess of $400,000 and the loans applied for totalled in excess of $400,000.”
