RECENT NEWS

Jan. 5, 2024 — Brighton Bank has entered an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to overhaul its anti-money-laundering technology and practices after a report from the regulator last year found the bank violated compliance laws.

The FDIC demanded the community bank, which is based 30 miles north of Memphis, Tennessee, take a broad set of actions to remedy its violations of the Bank Secrecy Act [BSA], according to a consent order that was made public on Friday. The order, which took effect Nov. 30, requires Brighton Bank to appoint a BSA officer, enhance audits of information technology, and train staff in BSA/AML requirements, among other action items.
