Summary
$125 million is what UBS Financial Services agreed to pay to resolve US allegations that it willfully and repeatedly violated anti-money laundering rules.
FinCEN said the case involved Bank Secrecy Act violations, making it the Treasury unit's largest-ever fine against a broker-dealer for that offense.
The penalty also marks FinCEN's second enforcement action against UBS's brokerage, underscoring repeated regulatory scrutiny of the business.
