The Department of Internal Affairs has accepted an enforceable undertaking from Lexington Trust Services Limited.
In July 2023, a review found Lexington had not set up, followed, or maintained a compliant Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism programme.
It also failed to report suspicious activity, as required by law.
The company is NOT alleged to have been involved in money laundering or the financing of terrorism.
