Multiple US federal regulators are probing Morgan Stanley over how it vets clients who are at risk of laundering money through the bank’s sprawling wealth-management division.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and other Treasury Department offices are involved, according to people familiar with the matter. That is in addition to the Federal Reserve, whose similar probe The Wall Street Journal reported in November. The Fed has told the bank that supervisory action is under consideration.
