2 Dec 2024 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.MAS: SGD 2.4m civil penalty on JPMorgan over excessive bond spreads SingaporeOrganisational requirements €1.7m

Relationship managers at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. misrepresented or incompletely disclosed price components in 24 over-the-counter bond transactions between November 2018 and September 2019, so that clients paid spreads above those agreed (in breach of s 201(c) and (d) SFA, the Securities and Futures Act). The bank admitted liability under s 236C SFA because, lacking adequate processes and controls, it had neither prevented nor detected the misconduct; it allegedly paid the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS, Singapore's central bank and financial regulator) a civil penalty of SGD 2.4 million and refunded the overcharged fees to clients. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.

What organisations can take from it

A firm that gives relationship managers discretion over pricing must systematically check compliance with agreed terms – otherwise the institution is liable for their misconduct.
