WASHINGTON- Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control recently cited Bank Fund Staff Federal Credit Union in Washington, D.C. under its Iran sanctions program. The violation, involving the “operation of Iranian accounts” from 1998-2000, resulted in a $14,000 settlement with OFAC for the $1.9 billion credit union.
