ICBC

The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and its New York branch agreed to pay $32.4 million in penalties levied by two regulators for failing to address long-standing compliance failures and for the unauthorized disclosure of confidential supervisory information (CSI) to an overseas regulator.

The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) fined the ICBC $30 million for failing to correct deficiencies found in its anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions screening processes over several examination cycles from 2018-22, according to a press release Friday.

The Federal Reserve Board separately announced a $2.4 million fine against the ICBC for the unauthorized use and disclosure of CSI.
