Bank of America has agreed to pay more than $1.2 billion in a settlement with U.S. regulators after authorities identified deficiencies in the bank’s anti–money‑laundering controls. The penalties, exceeding $1.2 billion, rank among the most significant sanctions imposed on a major U.S. bank in recent years.
Regulators said the settlement followed a review that found shortcomings in the firm’s systems to prevent financial crime. The action comes amid heightened regulatory scrutiny of sanctions compliance and AML rules across the financial sector.
The report was published on 14 October 2026 and frames the settlement as part of broader enforcement efforts to strengthen banks’ controls over illicit finance. #BankOfAmerica #BAC #AML #FiatNews
