Sagicor employees Tricia Monique Moulton and Malika McLeod, who are accused of fleecing customers of $65 million, had their bail extended when they appeared in the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Court on Friday.
They are to return to court on February 21.
Moulton, a 41-year-old bank manager and McLeod, a 42-year-old personal banker, are charged with various offences.
When the matter was called up, the court was told that the case file is still incomplete.
King's Counsel Peter Champagnie represents McLeod while Moulton is represented by Orville Morgan and Rita Allen Brown.
The attorneys are to be provided with disclosure by January 9.
Investigators of the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigations Branch (C-TOC) have alleged that over the period August to October 2022, the women conspired and defrauded the US Foreign Currency accounts of about six Sagicor customers.
It's further alleged that the accused women created fraudulent accounts in the customers' names, then transferred funds from the legitimate accounts to the fake accounts and thereafter stole the funds.
Radio Jamaica News was informed that more than $40 million was taken from one account.
The investigation is ongoing and the police say others are likely to be charged.
