TD Bank has set aside $2.6 billion to settle allegations made by U.S. regulators that deficiencies in its anti-money laundering (AML) program allowed fentanyl traffickers to launder money on its platform.
TD Bank said Thursday in a press release that its third quarter results will “include the impact of the US $2,600 million provision for investigations related to the Bank’s anti-money laundering program, which, together with the provision taken last quarter in connection with this matter, reflects the Bank’s current estimate of the total fines related to this matter.”
The bank also announced Wednesday in a separate statement on the AML matter that it had sold about two percent of its shares in the Charles Schwab Corp. The bank suffered quarterly losses for the first time in two decades, Reuters reported on Thursday.
