Which is the most severe consequence for a financial institution if the regulator finds it is in breach of AML regulatory obligations?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Non-compliance with AML regulatory obligations can have severe consequences for financial institutions. Among these, the most severe consequence is the loss of license.

Losing the license effectively shuts down the institution's ability to conduct business, impacting its existence and operations significantly12.

Definitely option A. Losing your license is the ultimate consequence for any financial institution. I can't imagine how devastating that would be.
