TD Bank said it set aside $450 million to settle regulatory and law enforcement investigations into its anti-money laundering (AML) and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) programs.
The bank, which previously disclosed the existence of the investigations by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and other U.S. regulators, said in a press release Tuesday it is negotiating the size of the penalty.
