26 Dec 2024 株式会社イオン銀行 (AEON Bank, Ltd.)AEON Bank: order over 14,639 unreviewed money laundering alerts Order
Between June and November 2023 and between July and September 2024, the bank failed to assess at least 14,639 transactions flagged by its transaction monitoring for whether suspicious transaction reports were needed, and took up to 152 days on monthly average to file reports (February 2024). It had also not implemented the measures required by the supervisory AML/CFT guidelines by the end-March 2024 deadline and had not remedied findings from the previous inspection. The business improvement order under Art. 26(1) of the Banking Act requires, among other things, the outstanding reviews and reports to be completed and governance by the board and management to be fundamentally strengthened.
Transaction monitoring only works with enough staff to assess every alert promptly; backlogs must reach the board.
