BSI Bank is wearing a $394 million fine for its role in the 1MDB disaster, with regulators fingering systemic AML compliance gaps. The Swiss bank's failures are a sharp reminder that typifying 1MDB as historical misses the point: enforcement continues, and the bar for institutional failure keeps rising. We've also got State Street's Russia sanctions slip-up, a tactical OFAC license tweak for Lukoil divestiture work, and a new compliance platform hitting the market. Read on.
In today's brief
- 1 How did BSI's AML controls fail to flag $4.7bn in illicit 1MDB flows?
- 2 Did State Street's sanctions screening fail to catch Russian transactions before settlement?
- 3 What OFAC's amended Lukoil license means for credit providers and transaction screeners
- 4 Does AI-native compliance software reduce audit preparation time and fine exposure meaningfully?
