Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: FULT) today announced that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has terminated the Consent Order which that agency issued on September 4, 2014 to Fulton Financial Corporation and its bank subsidiary, Lafayette Ambassador Bank.

This order was originally issued for deficiencies in the company’s Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) compliance program. Today’s announcement follows the company’s statements, released October 30, 2017, August 9, 2018, and January 15, 2019, that various regulatory agencies had terminated similar orders at five of the Corporation’s other banking subsidiaries.

"This completes the journey we have been on to strengthen our BSA/AML compliance programs,” said E. Philip Wenger, Fulton Financial’s Chairman and CEO. “I want to convey my thanks to our entire team of employees who worked diligently to build the company’s enhanced and sustainable BSA/AML program. With the lifting of this order, the company will be able to move forward with plans to merge the two remaining subsidiary banks into its flagship bank, Fulton Bank, N.A. this fall.”

Fulton Financial Corporation, a $21 billion Lancaster, Pa.-based financial holding company, has approximately 3,600 team members and operates more than 225 branches in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Virginia through three subsidiary banks.

These forward looking statements may include projections of, or guidance on, the Corporation’s future financial performance, expected levels of future expenses, anticipated growth strategies, descriptions of new business initiatives and anticipated trends in the Corporation’s business or financial results.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts, nor assurance of future performance. Instead, they are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of the Corporation’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.

The Corporation undertakes no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
