The bank failed to cross check any incoming transactions or any Euro-based payments against the UK’s terror sanction list between December 2007 and December 2008, the Press Association reported today.
"By failing to screen relevant customers and payments against the HM Treasury sanctions list, RBS left itself open to the risk that it was facilitating terrorist financing,” said a spokesperson for the Financial Services Authority, which levied the fine.
