  • Level: Intermediate to advanced

Could you be held liable for civil damages over what a customer did with his account? In one recent case, a Brooklyn jury said yes. Arab Bank, which has denied the allegations, was sued by victims of terrorist attacks. They claimed the bank supported Hamas by handling transfers for some of the group’s members. Similar suits are appearing in other jurisdictions, and the trend could cost financial institutions millions, potentially billions, in civil damages. This panel dissects the recent legal cases and offers practical guidance for safeguarding your organization against similar legal claims.
