FCA FINES GUARANTY TRUST BANK £525,000 FOR MONEY LAUNDERING VIOLATIONS

The UK Fiscal Conduct Authority (FCA) has levied a fine, in the amount of £525,000, upon Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd., a subsidiary of Nigerian Guaranty Trust Bank PLC, for multiple money laundering violations.

Apparently, there was a 30% discount given, due to bank cooperation.

The violations found include:

(1) Failure in the bank's AML controls.

(2) Non-existent AML systems.

(3) A failure to check customers against sanctions lists, and to inquire as to their possible PEP status.

(4) There was no check on Source of Funds.
