American Express (AXP) and its subsidiary American Express Travel Related Services consented to a cease-and-desist order issued by the Federal Reserve Board, while American Express National Bank also consented to a separate enforcement order issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to resolve regulatory reviews of its financial crimes compliance program, the company said in a late Thursday filing.
The Federal Reserve Board's actions against the company came after an investigation revealed its failure to timely and sufficiently detect and report suspicious activity related to money laundering, the regulator said Thursday.
American Express National Bank will also pay a civil money penalty of $350 million to the OCC, the company said.
The penalty and the consent orders are not expected to impact the company's 2026 and 2027 guidance, it said.
