Bank of America regulatory penalties and compliance failures

Overview

Bank of America has faced significant regulatory penalties totaling over $1.2 billion for violations of anti-money laundering and sanctions laws. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) assessed a $1.2 billion penalty for failures to mitigate national security risks, including Chinese money-laundering networks and illicit finance near the US-Mexico border. The bank reportedly failed to timely report over $5 billion in suspicious transactions. Additionally, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) imposed a $750 million fine, its largest in history, for deficient programs, while the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) secured an $11.6 million settlement regarding sanctions violations involving Iran and Russia.

Following these penalties, Bank of America shares fell 8%. Investigations revealed that the bank’s transaction-monitoring system used thresholds that were too high to flag suspicious activity, leaving approximately $4 billion in transactions unidentified and creating a backlog of nearly 200,000 cases. The regulatory settlement, which resulted in a $1.2 billion non-tax-deductible charge, contributed to a third-quarter earnings miss, with reported earnings dropping to $6.9 billion from $8.3 billion the previous year.
