24 Jan 2025 The Standard Bank of South Africa LimitedPA: ZAR 13m against Standard Bank over late reports to the FIC €675,255
Following an inspection in 2022, the supervisor found that the bank had filed 17,259 suspicious transaction reports and 1,466 cash transaction reports late and failed to file one suspicious report at all, had not recorded the submission dates of 43 suspicious reports, omitted ongoing due diligence on two clients and not handled some 75,700 monitoring alerts on time. Sanction: six cautions and financial penalties totalling ZAR 13m (4m for late suspicious reports, 1m for the missing report, 8m for breaches of Directive 5). The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
Identifying suspicious cases but not reporting them on time breaches the reporting duty just as not reporting at all does; reporting processes need capacity and deadline control.
