台灣兆豐國際銀行因反洗錢失敗面臨美聯儲2900萬美元處罰

1月17日，據路透電文，美聯儲於周三表示，已對台灣兆豐國際銀行的反洗錢違規行為處以2900萬美元罰金，並要求該銀行改善反洗錢內控監督和內控體系。

WASHINGTON, Jan 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve Board said on Wednesday it had fined Taiwan"s Mega International Commercial Bank Co. $29 million for anti-money laundering violations and required the company to improve its anti-money laundering oversight and controls.

美聯儲表示，2016年對台資銀行的檢查中發現，其在美國的銀行業務存在風險管理以及合規等方面的「重大缺陷」，涉及反洗錢和銀行保密法。目前，兆豐國際在紐約、伊利諾伊和加利福尼亞州均設有分行。

The Fed said its most recent 2016 inspection of the Taiwanese bank revealed "significant deficiencies" at its U.S. banking operations risk management and compliance controls relating to anti-money laundering and bank secrecy laws. The bank operates branches in New York, Illinois and California.

2016年，紐約州對兆豐國際處以1.8億美元處罰，理由是對於巴拿馬業務的風險敞口存在疏忽，這是近十年來台灣金融機構第一次受到美國監管當局的處罰。

New York state authorities in 2016 slapped Mega International Commercial Bank with a $180 million fine for violations that included lax attention to risk exposure in Panama, the first time in a decade that a Taiwan-based financial institution had been penalized by U.S. authorities.
