3rd October 2024 | Hong Kong
The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has fined Barclays $4 million for swap reporting violations, failing to report correctly & late reporting for millions of swap transactions from 2018 to 2023. CFTC (1/10/24): “The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced an order filing and simultaneously settling charges against Barclays Bank PLC for violations of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations relating to swap reporting. Barclays is registered with the CFTC as a swap dealer. The order requires Barclays to pay a $4 million civil monetary penalty, cease and desist from violating the applicable provisions of the CEA and CFTC regulations, and comply with certain conditions and undertakings. Barclays admitted the facts in the order and acknowledged its conduct violated the CEA and CFTC regulations. Case Background – According to the order, from 2018 through 2023, Barclays failed to correctly report, or failed to timely report, millions of swap transactions in violation of the CEA and CFTC regulations. The reporting failures during the relevant period included misreporting due to the use of a duplicate swap identifier; incorrect reporting of primary economic terms; misreported time stamps; errors in connection with continuation data reporting; and late reporting. In total, aggregating all the categories of conduct, Barclays either did not correctly report, or did not timely report, more than five million swap transactions throughout 2018 to 2023. In accepting Barclays’ Offer of Settlement, the CFTC recognized Barclays’ substantial cooperation during the Division of Enforcement’s investigation. Barclays’ cooperation included proactively flagging swap reporting issues for the CFTC during the investigation, and voluntarily providing detailed and specific information regarding the violations described in the order. The CFTC also acknowledges Barclays’ representations concerning its remediation for this matter. This remediation includes voluntarily engaging third-party vendors to review and validate Barclays’ swap reporting processes. The CFTC notes Barclays’ cooperation and remediation are recognized in the form of a reduced civil monetary penalty.”
