OFAC settles with TD Bank for $115K

OFAC has announced TD Bank, N.A. (Wilmington, Delaware), has agreed to pay $115,005.04 to settle its potential civil liability for two separate matters involving apparent violations of the North Korea Sanctions Regulations and the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Sanctions Regulations.

In the first matter, TD processed 1,479 transactions totaling $382,685.38 and maintained nine accounts on behalf of employees of the North Korean mission to the United Nations without a license from OFAC. In the second matter, TD maintained two accounts for more than four years for a U.S. resident who was listed on OFAC’s list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (“SDN List”).

The apparent violations in both cases resulted from multiple sanctions compliance breakdowns, including screening deficiencies and human error, and highlight the importance of maintaining and following proper escalation procedures and ensuring adequate employee training. The settlements reflect OFAC’s determination that TD’s apparent violations in both matters were voluntarily self-disclosed and were non-egregious.
