Report: TD Bank AML Failures

What Went Wrong?

Analysing the key failures

In 2024, TD Bank agreed to a record-breaking settlement of $3 billion with U.S. regulators after admitting to shocking AML failures over the course of a decade. The bank was found to have severely underinvested in its compliance programme and senior staff prioritised growth ahead of having the right AML controls in place. These failures enabled drug trafficking and terrorist financing, with over $270 million laundered through TD Bank accounts between 2019 and 2023.
