TD Bank said it set aside $450 million to settle regulatory and law enforcement investigations into its anti-money laundering (AML) and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) programs.
The bank, which previously disclosed the existence of the investigations by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and other U.S. regulators, said in a press release Tuesday it is negotiating the size of the penalty.
“The bank’s regulatory and law enforcement discussions with three U.S. regulators … and the Department of Justice are ongoing. The bank anticipates additional monetary penalties,” it said. “This provision does not reflect the final aggregate amount of potential monetary penalties or any nonmonetary penalties, which are unknown and not reliably estimable at this time.”
