The agreement is designed to settle charges that the bank illegally hid financial business with Iranian interests. The wording of the agreement notes that the financial business in question amounted to at least $250 billion.
Standard Chartered said it "strongly rejects" the charges. The bank said it will fight efforts to withdraw its license to do business in New York, an important financial center.
Standard Chartered is Britain's fifth largest bank. New York state's top bank regulator accused the bank of being a "rogue institution" from 2001 to 2010.
The regulator said the bank made hundreds of millions of dollars in fees from about 60,000 financial exchanges with Iranian financial institutions. The reported exchanges were made through the bank's New York offices.英国渣打银行同意本周向一家美国金融监管机构缴纳3.4亿美元。协议旨在了结对该银行非法隐藏与伊朗利益集团相关金融业务的指控。该协议的措辞强调指出所涉及的金融交易达2500亿美元。
渣打银行称其强烈反对该指控。银行表示将对吊销其在重要金融中心纽约的业务许可证的行为进行抗争。
渣打银行为英国第五大银行。纽约州最高银行监管机构指控该银行在2001年至2010年期间是家“流氓机构”。
监管机构表示，渣打银行通过与伊朗金融机构进行的约6万笔金融交易获取了数亿美元。而这些交易是通过渣打银行纽约办事处完成的。
