10 Oct 2024 TD Bank, N.A. und TD Bank USA, N.A.FinCEN: record USD 1.3 billion penalty against TD Bank for AML programme failures USAInternal controls €1.19bn

FinCEN imposed a civil money penalty of USD 1.3 billion on TD Bank, N.A. and TD Bank USA, N.A. because, from at least 2012 to May 2024, the bank did not maintain an adequate anti-money laundering programme and did not file suspicious activity reports (SARs) and currency transaction reports (CTRs) accurately and on time; during the review backlogs, more than 6,000 SARs, among others, were not filed on time. Payments of USD 543 million to the DOJ and the OCC are credited against the penalty, leaving USD 757 million payable to the US Treasury. The bank must also appoint an independent compliance monitor. The authority allegedly made the findings set out here; this account is not based on a final judgment.

What organisations can take from it

An AML programme must grow with the business in staff, technology and monitoring scenarios; tolerated alert backlogs are treated as wilful violations.

Relevance to training and awareness

Anti-money laundering: transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting and adequate compliance resources
