Customers Bancorp names veteran Allen Love its chief compliance officer
Aug 9 (Reuters) -Customers Bancorp CUBI.N named industry veteran Allen Love its chief compliance and anti-money-laundering officer on Friday.
The announcement came a day after the U.S. Federal Reserve slapped the bank, which manages $22 billion in assets, with an enforcement action for "significant deficiencies" around its risk management and anti-money-laundering practices.
Shares of the West Reading, Pennsylvania-based bank fell another 2% on Friday, after sinking 13% in the previous session following the Fed's enforcement action, which directed it to overhaul and address the risk exposure from its digital assets business.
The U.S. central bank can take enforcement action against banks and other financial institutions for violations of law, rules and regulations, including cease and desist orders, written agreements and financial penalties.
Love, a former IRS special agent, worked for more than a decade at Canada's TD Bank TD.TO and has more than 20 years of experience in financial crime risk management.
He will be responsible for leading and improving Customers Bancorp's compliance program in his new role.
Love will immediately work on strengthening Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money-laundering protocols for the bank's digital assets business, Customers Bancorp said in a statement.
