Payoneer settles with OFAC

OFAC has announced a settlement with Payoneer Inc., a publicly traded New York-based online money transmitter and provider of prepaid access. Payoneer agreed to remit $1,400,301.40 to settle its potential civil liability for 2,260 apparent violations of multiple sanctions programs. Payoneer processed payments for parties located in the Crimea region of Ukraine, Iran, Sudan, and Syria, and also processed payments on behalf of sanctioned persons on OFAC’s List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (“SDN List”).

According to OFAC's Enforcement Release, Payoneer’s sanctions compliance program deficiencies at the relevant times—including with respect to screening, testing, auditing, and transaction review procedures—enabled persons in these jurisdictions and regions and on the SDN List to engage in approximately $802,117.36 worth of transactions. The settlement amount reflects OFAC’s determination that 2,241 of Payoneer’s apparent violations were not voluntarily self-disclosed, 19 were voluntarily self-disclosed, and all transactions were non-egregious.
