Bank of Scotland fined £160K for sending £77K to sanctioned Russian-linked UK citizen due to undetected name variation.
Bank of Scotland was fined £160,000 by the UK’s OFSI for processing 24 payments totaling £77,383 to a sanctioned individual in February 2023.
The breach occurred because a name variation on a UK passport used to open a Halifax account went undetected by the bank’s automated screening system.
The individual, a British citizen linked to Russia sanctions, was identified during a PEP review.
The penalty was halved due to the bank’s voluntary disclosure and cooperation.
Lloyds Banking Group said it acted swiftly and strengthened compliance controls.
