The FCA accused NatWest of failing to monitor suspect activity by a client that deposited about 365 million pounds in its accounts over five years, of which 264 million was in cash. Reuters and other media reported on Tuesday that Fowler Oldfield, a gold dealership in Bradford that has since been liquidated, was the NatWest customer linked to the FCA action.

NatWest said on Tuesday it took preventing money laundering “extremely seriously” and was cooperating with the FCA investigation. If convicted, it could face an unlimited fine.
