In 2024, compliance fines continued to wreak havoc on the Financial Services Industry:


  • Citibank Assessed $75 Million Civil Money Penalty


  • Credit Suisse to Address Deficiencies Related to the Bank Secrecy Act


  • Touchmark National Bank Required to Address Unsafe or Unsound Practices



Our Successes 

At a financial institution with more than $1T in assets, Apogee rationalized and established traceability of hundreds of Disclosures for the most problematic laws, regulations and rules in the US.  These laws, regulations and rules were the source of 98% of Disclosure complaints, resulting in millions of dollars wasted on investigation and remediation.  The senior executive sponsor called the project the most successful ever at this bank.


Our process improvement approach works at various-sized banks:


  • At the nation's largest bank, we identified $100MM+ in annual improvements (validated by finance) for 5 consecutive years.
  • At a super-regional bank, we improved the pre-tax net income $15-45MM each year for six years.
  • At a small/mid-sized bank, we improved the bottom line by 2% in a single year!
