U.S. proposes cutting off Swiss bank MBaer for aiding Iran and Russia in $100M+ illicit transactions.
The U.S. Treasury Department proposed cutting off MBaer Merchant Bank AG, a small Swiss bank, from the U.S. financial system, alleging it facilitated over $100 million in transactions for Iranian and Russian-linked entities, including Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Russian criminals.
The move, led by FinCEN, would ban U.S. institutions from maintaining correspondent accounts with the bank, citing money laundering, terrorist financing, and sanctions violations.
The action underscores U.S. efforts to disrupt financial networks supporting adversarial regimes, despite the bank’s modest size and lack of public response.
A 30-day comment period follows, with final decisions pending.
