The Federal Reserve Board ordered an Arkansas bank that partnered with numerous financial technology (fintech) companies to correct deficiencies in its anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, risk management, and consumer compliance programs.
Evolve Bank & Trust engaged in unsafe and unsound business practices related to third-party fintech companies it partnered with, the Fed said Friday in a press release.
One of the third parties connected with Evolve was software-as-a-service platform Synapse, which filed for bankruptcy in May. Evolve responded to Synapse’s bankruptcy at the time in a press release.
