WHEREAS, the Bank has pursued growth without ensuring that it had established and maintained an adequate BSA/AML Program;

WHEREAS, the Bank needs to make a robust investment in remediation and BSA/AML compliance going forward;

WHEREAS, the Bank has begun corrective action and has committed to taking all necessary and appropriate steps to remedy the deficiencies identified in this Order.

WHEREAS, in the interest of cooperation and to avoid additional costs associated with administrative and judicial proceedings with respect to the above matter, the Bank, by and through its duly elected and acting Board of Directors (“Board”), consents to the issuance of this Consent Order (“Order”), by the OCC through the duly authorized representative of the Comptroller of the Currency (“Comptroller”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority vested in the OCC by Section 8(b) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b), the OCC hereby orders that:

ARTICLE I

JURISDICTION

(1) The Bank is an “insured depository institution” as that term is defined in 12 U.S.C. § 1813(c)(2).

(2) The Bank is a national banking association within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q)(1)(A), and is chartered and examined by the OCC. See 12 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

(3) The OCC is the “appropriate Federal banking agency” as that term is defined in 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q) and is therefore authorized to initiate and maintain this cease and desist action against the Bank pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b).

ARTICLE II

COMPTROLLER’S FINDINGS

The Comptroller finds, and the Bank neither admits nor denies, the following:

(1) The Bank failed to develop and provide for the continued administration of a BSA/AML Program reasonably designed to assure and monitor compliance with the BSA and its implementing regulations, in violation of 12 C.F.R. § 21.21. Deficiencies in the Bank’s BSA/AML Program included deficiencies related to: internal controls and risk management practices; risk assessments; customer due diligence; customer risk ratings; suspicious activity identification, evaluation, and reporting; governance; staffing; independent testing; and training, among others.

(2) The Bank had significant, long-standing, systemic breakdowns in its transaction monitoring program.

(3) Since at least 2020, the Bank processed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of transactions with clear indicia of highly suspicious activity, creating a potential for significant money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illicit financial transactions. The Bank repeatedly failed to take appropriate and timely corrective action to address the highly suspicious activity and failed to properly emphasize BSA/AML compliance.

(4) The Bank had a systemic breakdown in its policies, procedures, and processes to identify and report suspicious activity, and a pattern or practice of noncompliance with the SAR filing requirement, resulting in numerous violations of 12 C.F.R. § 21.11 (suspicious activity report violations).

(5) The Bank violated 31 C.F.R. § 1010.312 (currency transaction report violations) on numerous occasions.

(6) The Bank failed to implement appropriate risk-based procedures for conducting ongoing customer due diligence in violation of 31 C.F.R. § 1020.210(a)(2)(v).

(7) The Bank recklessly engaged in unsafe or unsound practices related to the Bank’s BSA/AML Program.

(8) The Bank’s violations and recklessly unsafe or unsound practices were part of a pattern, and caused and are likely to cause more than a minimal loss to the Bank.

ARTICLE III

BSA/AML INDEPENDENT TESTING

(1) Within one-hundred twenty (120) days of the effective date of this Order, or as otherwise specified in the BSA/AML Action Plan for which the OCC has provided its no supervisory objection, the Bank shall develop and implement an effective BSA/AML independent testing program (“BSA/AML Audit Program”) to test the Bank’s compliance with the BSA, relative to its risk profile, and the overall adequacy of the Bank’s BSA/AML Program. Refer to the FFIEC Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering Examination Manual: “BSA/AML Independent Testing” (Rev. March 2020) and the “Internal and External Audits” booklet of the Comptroller’s Handbook.

(2) The BSA/AML Audit Program shall address and determine, at a minimum, whether:

(a)

the Bank’s BSA/AML Program is effective and the Bank is in compliance with BSA regulatory requirements;

(b)

the Bank’s money laundering, terrorist financing and other illicit financial activity risk assessment adequately captures its risk profile;

(c)

the Bank’s policies and procedures are reasonably designed to achieve compliance with the BSA and its implementing regulations;

(d)

the policies, procedures, and processes for BSA/AML compliance are appropriate for the Bank’s risk profile;

(e)

the Bank adheres to its policies, procedures, and processes for BSA/AML compliance;

(f)

the Bank’s overall process for identifying and reporting suspicious activity is adequate to comply with regulatory requirements;

(g)

the Bank’s information technology sources, systems, and processes used to support the BSA/AML Program are adequate;

(h)

BSA/AML training is provided for appropriate personnel, tailored to specific functions and positions, and includes supporting documentation; and

(i)

management is taking appropriate and timely action to address any deficiencies previously noted by audit staff.

(3) The BSA/AML Audit Program shall develop risk assessment and planning processes which clearly document AML risk. The risk assessment and planning shall document the rationale for the products, services, and customers which are impacting the quantity and quality of the risk.

(4) Management shall require prompt reporting, no less than quarterly, of all deficiencies in BSA/AML processes and controls identified through the BSA/AML Audit Program to the Bank’s Board or BSA/AML Audit Committee, and to senior management. The reports shall indicate the severity of the deficiencies, the risks, and the required corrective actions. The Board or BSA/AML Audit Committee shall ensure that management takes prompt action to remedy deficiencies cited in audit reports and that the BSA/AML Audit Program reviews and validates corrective action promptly.

ARTICLE XV

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REVIEW LOOK-BACK

(1) Within sixty (60) days of the date of this Order, or as otherwise specified in the BSA/AML Action Plan for which the OCC has provided its no supervisory objection, the Bank shall submit to the Examiner-in-Charge, for review and prior written determination of no supervisory objection, the name, qualifications, and engagement terms of a proposed independent, third-party consultant (“SAR Look-Back Consultant”) to conduct a review and provide a written report on the Bank’s suspicious activity monitoring, investigation, decisioning, and reporting (“SAR Look-Back”). The submission shall include a proposed scope and timeline for completion of the SAR Look-Back that address the requirements of paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) of this Article. The Bank’s submission shall address in detail the consultant’s specialized expertise in BSA/AML. Refer to “Use and Review of Independent Consultants in Enforcement Actions: Guidance for Bankers,” Nov. 12, 2013 (OCC Bulletin 2013-33).

(2) The purpose of the SAR Look-Back is to determine whether SARs should be filed for any previously unreported suspicious activity, including cases in which the BSA Officer or staff identified suspicious activity but failed to adequately support a decision not to file a SAR, and to review the quality and accuracy of previous SAR filings to determine whether corrections or amendments are necessary to ensure that the suspicious activity identified was accurately reported in accordance with 12 C.F.R. § 21.11, and to identify any transactions that represent excessive BSA/AML risk.

(3) The SAR Look-Back Consultant shall facilitate the updating of the due diligence information for existing moderate-and high-risk customers identified during the SAR Look-Back. The SAR Look-Back Consultant, or the Independent Consultant performing the BSA/AML program assessment pursuant to Article V of this Order, shall facilitate the remediation of any known errors, or errors identified during the BSA/AML Program assessment pursuant to Article V of this Order, in the Bank’s entire customer base, to establish an accurate customer risk profile that provides for ongoing monitoring and ensures the Bank understands the nature and purpose of the customer relationship.

(4) The scope of the SAR Look-Back shall be determined in writing by the Examiner-in-Charge.

(5) Within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Examiner-in-Charge’s written determinations of no supervisory objection to the proposed SAR Look-Back Consultant and the scope and timeline for completion of the consultant’s review, the Board shall enter into a written agreement with the consultant, consistent with the requirements of this Article, to conduct the SAR Look-Back. The proposed written agreement, and any proposed amendments to it, shall be submitted to the Examiner-in-Charge for review and prior written determination of no supervisory objection. Upon execution, a copy of that written agreement, and any subsequent amendments thereto, shall be provided to the Examiner-in-Charge.

(6) Upon execution of the written agreement with the Look-Back Consultant, Bank management, subject to Board review and ongoing monitoring, shall timely provide all information requested by the consultant.

(7) Within thirty (30) days of completion of the SAR Look-Back, the Look-Back Consultant shall provide the Board with a written report that addresses:

(a)

the analytical techniques, tools, methodologies, factors, and other considerations used by the consultant in conducting the SAR Look-Back;

(b)

the process that the consultant used for investigating customers, accounts, and transactions;

(c)

the number and types of customers, accounts, and transactions that the consultant reviewed;

(d)

a list of the customers for which the consultant facilitated the updating of due diligence information, remediation of errors, or establishment of an accurate customer risk profile;

(e)

a list of the customers, accounts, and transactions that the consultant concluded require additional investigation;

(f)

a list of any SARs that the consultant has recommended that the Bank should file for any previously unreported suspicious activity;

(g)

a list of existing SARs that the consultant has recommended the Bank should correct or amend;

(h)

a list of customers, accounts, and transactions where, contrary to the consultant’s recommendation, the Bank determined not to file a SAR or to amend existing SAR filings, and the reasons provided for that decision;

(i)

a list of customers whose activity the consultant concluded reflect excessive BSA/AML risk for the Bank, or where the Bank did not appropriately consider the impact of the customer activity on the customer risk profile; and

(j)

any corrective actions that the consultant recommends to the Bank.

(8) When providing the written report to the Board, the SAR Look-Back Consultant shall, at the same time, directly provide a copy of the written report of the findings and recommendations from the SAR Look-Back to the Examiner-in-Charge. All supporting materials and work papers associated with the SAR Look-Back shall be made available to the OCC upon written request.

(9) Based upon the results of the SAR Look-Back, the OCC, at its sole discretion, may expand the scope of the SAR Look-Back, either in terms of the subjects to be addressed, or the time period(s) to be covered, or both (“Supplemental SAR Look-Back”). The Supplemental SAR Look-Back shall be carried out in a manner consistent with other requirements of this Article.

ARTICLE XVI

(4) For purposes of clarity and not limitation, substantial assistance as used in this Order means the Bank will use its best efforts, as determined by the OCC, to make available for interviews or testimony, as requested by the OCC, present or former officers, directors, employees, agents, and consultants of the Bank. This obligation includes, but is not limited to, sworn testimony in response to administrative subpoena as well as interviews with regulatory authorities.

The OCC expressly reserves its right to assess civil money penalties or take other enforcement actions if the OCC determines that the Bank has continued, or failed to correct, the practices and/or violations described in Article II of this Order or that the Bank otherwise is violating or has violated this Order.
