Lloyds is the latest U.K. financial institution being probed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regarding its anti-money laundering control framework.
The banking group disclosed in its annual report Thursday that the agency opened an investigation into its “compliance with domestic U.K. money laundering regulations and the FCA’s rules and principles for businesses.” The probe remains ongoing.
Lloyds said it is cooperating and that it could not estimate any potential financial impact.
