The OCC’s penalty, announced Tuesday, coincided with the termination of a June 2019 agreement between the regulator and Sterling Bank requiring the latter to remediate its unsafe and unsound practices, including deficiencies in its Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money laundering (BSA/AML) internal controls.
