The UK financial regulator has fined Barclays £42m for failures in its handling of financial crime risks related to two customers.

Most of the fine — £39.3m — relates to Barclays’ handling of its relationship with Stunt & Co, with the Financial Conduct Authority saying the UK lender failed to “gather enough information at the start of the relationship or carry out proper ongoing monitoring”.
