UBS has been ordered to pay $388 million (CHF336 million) to British and US regulators over Credit Suisse’s dealings with private investment firm Archegos Capital Management, the Swiss bank said on Monday.
The settlement is the first of several that UBS could have to pay after it last month closed its takeover of rival Credit Suisse, which was involved in a number of legal battles.
Under the agreement, UBS is to pay the US Federal Reserve $268.5 million and the UK’s Prudential Regulation Authority £87 million (CHF97 million).
Reports ahead of time had suggested the US regulator would impose a penalty of up to $300 million and the UK regulator would fine UBS up to £100 million over the bank’s dealings with bankrupt US hedge fund Archegos.
