Wells Fargo to pay $97 mln for sanctions compliance failures

March 30 (Reuters) - Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) will pay fines of about $97.8 million for inadequate oversight of its compliance risks, enabling the apparent violation of U.S. sanctions against Iran, Syria and Sudan, federal authorities said on Thursday.

The Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said the bank's deficient oversight enabled it to violate U.S. sanctions by providing a trade finance platform to a foreign bank that used it to process $532 million in prohibited transactions.

I’m amazed at how many id--ts and stupid people post on this forum that are uneducated about the actual topic. Try reading the facts before posting. This isn’t a new infraction. It was Wachovia software and this happened between 2010-2015 and was self reported.

It's not really Wells Fargo that is paying 97MM, it's the shareholders and employees... more fines... less shareholder value and employee rewards. Glad Wells Fargo is helping paydown the federal deficit.

Let's talk about the issue from last year with Russia was getting around sanctions due to a problem with Wells Fargo vendor software. That will be the next fine coming. Can't wait.

Good news:

“Wells Fargo is pleased to resolve this legacy matter involving conduct that ended in 2015, which we voluntarily self-reported and fully cooperated with OFAC and the Federal Reserve Board to address," a Wells Fargo spokesperson said in a statement.
