The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) today announced a settlement with daVinci Payments (daVinci), which manages prepaid reward card programs. DaVinci agreed to remit $206,213 to settle its potential civil liability for apparent violations of sanctions on Crimea, Iran, Syria, and Cuba. Between November 15, 2017 and July 27, 2022, daVinci enabled reward cards to be redeemed from persons in sanctioned jurisdictions. The settlement amount reflects OFAC’s determination that daVinci’s conduct was non-egregious and voluntarily self-disclosed. For more information, please visit the following web notice.
