flag Canaccord Genuity to pay $109.4M in record U.S. settlement for BSA violations from 2019–2022.

flag Canaccord Genuity has agreed to pay $109.4 million in a record settlement with U.S. regulators—FinCEN, the SEC, and the Treasury—for wilful violations of the Bank Secrecy Act from 2019 to 2022. flag The firm failed to file hundreds of suspicious activity reports, neglected to monitor high-risk trading in low-priced securities, and allowed inadequate compliance controls, enabling potential money laundering and fraud schemes. flag Regulators cited systemic deficiencies, including falsified records and unreviewed red flags. flag While the full penalty is $109.4 million, Canaccord expects to pay about $102.6 million, with part suspended pending a compliance review. flag The company has overhauled its compliance leadership, staffing, and systems, and stated the matter is resolved.
