BCLC appeals to Federal Court following FINTRAC decision

BCLC is appealing to the Federal Court following a decision made by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) to uphold a Notice of Violation (NOV).

In the NOV issued to BCLC on March 20, 2025, FINTRAC delivered findings of alleged administrative deficiencies pertaining to anti-money laundering legislation. The findings do not include allegations of any criminal offence.

Upon receipt of the NOV, BCLC completed a thorough review of FINTRAC’s findings and provided FINTRAC with information counter to its conclusions; however, the Director and Chief Executive Officer for FINTRAC upheld the decision.

BCLC takes its responsibilities under Canadian anti-money laundering legislation very seriously. It is confident in its position that it has fully complied with all its legal and regulatory obligations. The findings do not include allegations of any criminal offence.
