    Bank of America profit fell 17% after being fined $1.2 billion for money laundering and sanctions violations

    Bank of America’s third-quarter profit fell 17% after it was hit with a $1.2 billion regulatory fine for money laundering and sanctions violations. The U.S. Treasury said the bank failed to properly report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, while the OCC separately imposed a $750 million civil penalty. The bank’s revenue increased 3% to $30 billion, but fell short of analysts’ expectations, and it said it had invested billions of dollars and thousands of employees in advancing its compliance remediation.

    推荐理由：The material places the fine, the failure to report suspicious transactions, and the existing compliance remediation order alongside the same set of operating results, making it easier to understand how regulatory action is translating into financial and remediation pressure for the bank.

    Bank of America fined over $1.21 billion for anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance deficiencies

    The U.S. Treasury Department fined Bank of America over $1.21 billion for anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance deficiencies; the bank admitted to violating the Bank Secrecy Act. Of this amount, Bank of America will pay $750 million to the OCC, while OFAC separately reached an $11.6 million settlement over sanctions violations.
