Meantime, TD Bank's guilty plea signals US prosecutors aren't easing off the pressure on correspondent banking corridors, AMLA's launched its first public consultation on technical standards, and the sanctions piece of the puzzle is moving into focus. Lot of machinery in motion across the Atlantic and the Channel.
