Fined £2.1m on 5 March 2015
On 4 March 2015, the Financial Conduct Authority (the Authority) imposed on Bank of Beirut (UK) Ltd (the Firm) a financial penalty of £2,100,000 (discounted from £3,000,000 for early settlement) in respect of breaches of Principle 11 (Relations with regulators). The Authority found that in the period between 1 June 2011 and 20 March 2013 the Firm failed to implement Risk Mitigation Plan (RMP) action points as directed by the Authority and repeatedly provided inaccurate information to the Authority suggesting that it had completed RMP action points when it had not. In addition, Bank of Beirut breached Principle 11 because it failed to disclose to the Authority that it had not completed remediation of all its customer files to correct deficiencies in the implementation of AML and financial crime procedures (in respect of both its regulated and unregulated business).
