Action due to compliance deficiencies

The National Bank of Pakistan and its New York branch have agreed to pay a $55 million fine in accordance with a consent order made with the New York State Department of Financial Services, the New York regulator said. The report noted that the National Bank of Pakistan allowed serious compliance deficiencies at its New York branch to persist for years, despite repeated regulatory warnings. The Karachi-based, state-owned financial institution, established in 1949, is the only Pakistani bank based in New York.
