Bank of America fined $1.21B for anti-money laundering and sanctions violations

The U.S. Treasury Department fined Bank of America approximately $1.21 billion for failing to properly investigate trillions in suspicious transactions and violating U.S. sanctions. The penalties include the largest ever from the OCC and a significant fine from FinCEN, reflecting the bank's failure to report over $5 billion in suspicious activity, including risks related to national security. The bank admitted to willfully violating the Bank Secrecy Act and must now improve its anti-money laundering controls under regulatory oversight. This action highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny on major banks' compliance programs and could lead to stricter controls industry-wide.

Bank of America shares are trading at USD 52.48 on Pluang as of Oct 14, 2026 04:03 WIB, down 3.85% in one day. The stock's market cap stands at $381.66 billion, with a dividend yield of 2.35%. Pluang data shows a majority of 76% sell orders, reflecting cautious investor sentiment following the regulatory penalties news.
