Citibank's London branch was fined £4.7 million by UK sanctions regulators for processing 970 prohibited transactions worth £19.7 million linked to sanctioned Russian shipowner Sovcomflot, due to failures in compliance systems and sanctions screening after the Ukraine invasion.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a sharper UK crackdown on financial compliance in shipping payments linked to Russia. Strengthen your sanctions systems now or risk costly fines and restricted access to UK markets.
