Danske Bank on Tuesday reached final resolutions with U.S. and Danish authorities to settle allegations regarding widespread anti-money laundering (AML) deficiencies at its former Estonia branch.

The bank also reached settlements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Danish Special Crime Unit (SCU).
