6 Mar 2026 Canaccord Genuity LLCFinCEN: 80 million USD against Canaccord Genuity over AML and correspondent banking deficiencies €69.2m
The US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) imposed 80 million USD on the broker-dealer, which admitted wilful BSA infringements: no effective AML programme, no due diligence on correspondent accounts of foreign financial institutions and failure to file suspicious activity reports in connection with securities fraud. Remedial measures that had been promised were not implemented for years.
Implement remedial measures promised in writing to the supervisory authority genuinely and swiftly – years of delay aggravate the later sanction.

7 Aug 2025 Paxos Trust Company, LLCNYDFS: 26.5 million USD against Paxos over AML deficiencies in Binance business €22.8m
The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) imposed a penalty of 26.5 million USD on the crypto trust company because Paxos did not maintain an effective BSA/AML programme before 2023: KYC checks and risk ratings were inadequate, and transaction monitoring and suspicious activity reporting procedures had gaps, including in connection with the business relationship with Binance, contrary to a 2020 agreement. In addition, Paxos must invest at least 22 million USD in its compliance programme.
Companies that distribute products via partner platforms must include those platforms' customer and transaction risks in their own AML programme.

10 Apr 2025 Block, Inc.NYDFS: 40 million USD against Block (Cash App) over AML deficiencies €36.1m
The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) imposed 40 million USD on the operator of Cash App for serious gaps in its BSA/AML programme, including insufficient customer due diligence, a lack of risk-based controls and untimely transaction monitoring. Rapid growth in 2019/2020 led to a considerable backlog of alerts; an independent monitor is being appointed.
Scale compliance capacity with growth – a backlog of alerts is a supervisory infringement in its own right.
