One More Bank Obtains NPA under DOJ Swiss Bank Program (12/8/15)

On November 24, 2015, DOJ announced here that the following Swiss bank entered an NPA under the DOJ program for Swiss banks, here.

Aargauische Kantonalbank (AKB)

The bank will be added to the IRS's Foreign Financial Institutions or Facilitators, here.  As indicated in the last quoted paragraph, accountholders in the listed banks joining OVDP after one of their banks are listed will be subject to the 50% penalty in OVDP (provided that they do not opt out, in which case, who knows).

Here are the updated statistics for the Swiss Bank Program:
