22 Oct 2025 BofA Securities Inc., Nomura International plc, Standard Chartered Bank u. a. (5 Banken)CADE: settlements with five banks in offshore FX cartel totalling BRL 79m €12.7m
On 22 October 2025 the CADE Tribunal approved, in a single block, five cease-and-desist settlements (Termos de Compromisso de Cessação, TCC) with banks and allegedly set the following pecuniary contributions: BofA Securities Inc. 33,010,207.04 BRL, Nomura International plc 32,145,917.76 BRL, Standard Chartered Bank 11,544,947.78 BRL, Credit Suisse AG 1,582,051.57 BRL and MUFG Bank 714,782.33 BRL, together 78,997,906.48 BRL. The session minutes do not state the subject of the proceedings; all five banks are, however, among the parties whose conviction the General Superintendence had recommended in April 2025 in the proceedings on the offshore foreign-exchange cartel (according to CADE, collusion on the prices of FX transactions, exchange of sensitive information and disadvantaging other market participants such as brokers). The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
FX traders must not coordinate prices or customers with competitors; chats between banks are a typical cartel risk.
