US DOCUMENTS ALLEGE HSBC MONEY-LAUNDERING LAPSES
In April 2003, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and New York state bank regulators cracked the whip on HSBC Bank USA, ordering it to do a better job of policing itself for suspicious money flows. Staff in the bank’s anti-money launderingdivision, according to a person who worked there at the time, flew into a “panic.” The US unit of London-based HSBC Holdings quickly rallied. It hired a tough federal prosecutor to oversee anti-money laundering efforts. It installed monitoring systems for operations that had grown unwieldy during the bank’s US expansion. The aim, as HSBC said in an agreement with regulators at the time, was to “ensurethat the bank fully addresses all deficiencies in the bank’s anti-money laundering policies and procedures.”
