On September 22nd, a number of large banks around the world were involved in suspected illegal transactions. Us bank stocks, which closed down across the board yesterday, continued to fall before trading today. Santander and ING fell more than 2%. Deutsche Bank, HSBC Holdings and BBVA Bank fell by more than 1.5%. Credit Suisse, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase are all falling. A new survey by the International Federation of Investigative journalists (ICIJ) found that internal compliance officers at several large banks marked more than $2,000bn in transactions between 1999 and 2017, which could be money laundering or other criminal activities. The report cites confidential documents submitted by major banks to the U. S. government. Deutsche Bank appears to have facilitated $1.3 trillion of suspicious funds in the documents, compared with $514 billion at JPMorgan, the report found. Other banks mentioned in the survey include HSBC Holdings, Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of New York Mellon.
