RBC Capital Markets agreed to pay nearly $1.1 million as part of a settlement with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for failing to establish and maintain a reasonable supervisory system to monitor the suitability of short-term trading recommendations.

The agreement, published Friday, requires RBC to pay a $300,000 fine, $128,643 in restitution, and disgorgement of $653,313. A senior manager at the investment bank must certify to FINRA within 120 days the issues identified regarding its supervisory systems have been remediated.
