Swiss watchdog in touch with Credit Suisse over client data leak reports

Swiss banking supervisor FINMA is in contact with Credit Suisse over media reports by a network of investigative journalists detailing client data leaks, the watchdog said on Monday.

“We are aware of the articles,” a spokesperson said by email in response to an inquiry, citing its practice not to comment on individual media reports.

“Compliance with money laundering regulations has been a focus of our supervisory activities for years now,” the spokesperson added.
