Bank of America, Corp. BAC received a cease-and-desist order on Monday from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), addressing the deficiencies under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and sanctions compliance programs.

Bank of America must overhaul anti-money-laundering protocols and hire third-party consultants, but will not face growth limits, following OCC action for compliance deficiencies.

Bank of America Corp. entered into a consent order with regulators for failing to file suspicious-activity reports on time and to correct a deficiency in its due-diligence processes that would hamper anti-money-laundering efforts.
