That’s a lot of lira… Intesa Sanpaola fined $2.9MM…

…for violations of the Sudanese, Cuban and Iranian sanctions programs. Most notable is the following:

As early as the late 1990s, Intesa maintained a customer relationship with Irasco S.r.l. (“Irasco”),an Italian company headquartered in Genoa, Italy that is owned or controlled by the Governmentof Iran (“GOI”). Despite Irasco’s ownership and line of business as an exporter of goods to Iran,and its financial and commercial associations with Iranian state-owned financial institutions,companies, and projects, Intesa failed to identify Irasco as meeting the definition of the GOI inthe ITR and, at the time of the apparent violations, did not take appropriate measures to preventthe bank from processing transactions for or on behalf of Irasco that terminated in the UnitedStates and/or with U.S. persons. Intesa’s payment instructions for these transactions allidentified Irasco as the ordering customer.

and

Intesa processed … transactions to or through the United States that involved Cuba or Sudan. Intesa does not appear to have implemented or utilized special procedures or payment practices in order to process these payments to or through the United States.

The base penalty of $9,362,000 was knocked down to $2,949,030 despite the following factors:

Intesa had reason to know that one of its customers met the definition of the GOI inthe ITR and that payments which terminated in the United States for this customer constitutedapparent violations of the ITR;

Intesa’s conduct resulted in harm to the integrity of U.S.economic sanctions programs; Intesa is a commercially sophisticated international financialinstitution;

Intesa did not, at the time of the apparent violations, maintain an adequateprogram to ensure that it was in compliance with U.S. economic sanctions.

The reduction in the final penalty was due to the following factors:

OFAC concluded that the apparent violations did not constitute a willful or reckless violation of the law;

OFAC also determined that no Intesa managers or supervisors had actual knowledge or awareness of these matters within the meaning of the Guidelines;

Intesa provided substantial cooperation to OFAC, including signing a tolling agreement and multiple extensions;

Intesa took remedial action in response to the apparent violations and now has a more robust compliance program in place;

Intesa has not received a penalty notice or Finding of Violation from OFAC in the five years preceding the date of the transactions giving rise to the apparent violations.

Long story short, Intesa did not violate the most egregious of the General Factors (willful or reckless action, and management involvement), although its violations were significant enough to constitute damage to the goals of the sanctions program. And taking corrective action always helps.

So many questions…

So, was OFAC right in fining Wells? Personally, while there are elements in the settlement yesterday that hint at a possible answer, Mr. Watchlist wants to know more…

Most importantly, were the Social Security Numbers provided by Ms. Aguirre Sanchez and Mr. Ruela Topete valid, and did they match the names provided? If so, it's really hard to blame Wells for relying on that information, rather than on a date of birth. According to Internet sources, hundreds of thousands of people are born each day – I found estimates of over 200,000 per day in 2007 and 300-400,000 daily currently. Additionally, given how more homogeneous Hispanic surnames are than the average one in the US (the most popular names are about 2.75 times more frequent), it perhaps is even less reliable as a measure. (Of course, if Mr. Watchlist were a betting man, he would wager that Wells did not validate the SSNs properly, if at all)
The OFAC settlement mentions that Wells did not use date of birth in its screening. Does that mean that the systems they used did not factor in the date of birth match in evaluating the quality of the match, or that date of birth was not even available to someone reviewing the matches – or both? Systems could automatically exclude the matched name on the basis of the address mismatch without considering the date of birth (or discounting its value). Depending on the quality of the name match, that might be OK. However, in these cases, the provided names (Claudia Aguirre and Carlos A Ruelas) did not contain any elements that did not match the listed names. At best, not considering an exact name match when the country is a mismatch, but the date of birth matches, is a questionable judgment call.
Not making the date of birth available to those reviewing the match… for transaction screening, that might be defensible, since that information is almost never in the transaction data. For account screening, it is not.
Did Wells rescreen its customer database every time the SDN List changed? That's certainly best practice for large institutions – and could have caught Aguirre's account, which was opened prior to her designation as an SDNTK.

What kind of payment transactions were carried out on behalf of these two individuals? Check clearing transactions are often not screened at all. Additionally, if one screens account names on each SDN update, one can reasonably skip screening those parties (e.g. the debit party on an outgoing payment) on transactions, for operational efficiencies. In that regard, is it fair that the fine scales up with the number of transactions if the real hole in the program was in the client screening?

Regardless of the truth behind these queries, these should inform your firm's practices.
