Swedbank has today been informed that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has closed its investigation into the bank without enforcement.
"With this announcement from the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are placing another investigation of historical shortcomings behind us," says Tomas Hedberg, Head of Special Task Force and Deputy CEO of Swedbank.
The investigation was initiated in 2019 and concerned Swedbank's historic disclosures of information.
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) and Department of Financial Services in New York (DFS) investigations are still ongoing. Swedbank cannot at this time assess the potential financial impact or when these investigations will be concluded.
