Bank Bribery Act (BBA): Saying No to Bribery!
In today’s high-risk environment, even a small ethical mistake — like accepting an inappropriate gift or offering a favor to a client — can lead to severe legal, financial, and reputational consequences for banks and employees alike. Yet, many banking professionals are unclear about what’s considered bribery or how to properly respond to red flags.
Regulators are increasing pressure on banks to demonstrate strong compliance.
