U.S. Treasury identifies Banque Misr UAE branch
Treasury said the Emirati branch of Egyptian state-owned Banque Misr accessed U.S. correspondent accounts and routed up to $1.8 billion for companies potentially part of Iranian shadow-banking networks; it said it would move to cut the branch off.
The U.S. Treasury's Aug. 28 designation of Banque Misr's UAE branch over $1.8B in possible Iranian shadow-banking flows puts a sharp legal focus on U.S. correspondent banks' sanctions-compliance duties. The case highlights how third-party correspondent relationships can expose American institutions to enforcement risk even absent direct knowledge. Legal teams must review due-diligence, SAR, and OFAC screening obligations.
The U.S. Treasury says an Emirati branch of Egyptian state-owned Banque Misr routed up to $1.8B through dollar accounts at three unnamed U.S. banks, potentially for Iranian shadow networks. The action reveals billions in annual Iranian flows passing through U.S. clearing infrastructure, creating counterparty and sanctions risk for banks. Investors should watch for enforcement costs and possible tightening of correspondent relationships.
