    • Fine actions in the UAE: Over Dh 339 million (~US$92 million+) in cumulative fines across multiple institutions in a sweeping AML crackdown.

LPL Financial

  • Penalty: US $3 million fine in March 2025 for AML program failures related to penny stock trading.

  • Observations

    • The trend in 2025 continues to spotlight crypto platforms and digital financial services—like OKX, Revolut, LPL, and Monzo—as primary targets for AML enforcement.

    • Traditional banks (e.g. TD Bank, Barclays) still face large-scale penalties, underscoring that both legacy institutions and modern fintech/platforms must uphold strong compliance systems.

    • Fines range from a few million dollars for emerging firms to multi-billion-dollar settlements for systemic failures.
