State Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky signed an order that requires Standard Chartered Bank to answer his questions following an investigation.
A request for comment from the bank wasn’t immediately returned Monday.
The order claims that for nearly seven years, the bank worked with Iranian-government owned banks and other Iranian entities to hide 60,000 transactions worth $250 billion.
If proven, the scheme would violate state money-laundering laws.
