Vall Banc in Andorra
Vall Banc is the “New bank of the new Andorra” whose predecessor was Banca Privada d’Andorra (BPA), founded in 1957.
In 2015, the U.S. Department of the Treasury said that BPA posed a risk of money laundering involving four correspondent banks in the U.S., as well as criminal gangs from Russia and China.
In March 2015, the bank’s executives were suspended from their duties, and soon afterwards the bank’s Chief Executive Officer Joan Pau Miquel Prats was arrested and imprisoned. Regulators of Andorra and Spain took control of BPA and its subsidiary, Banco de Madrid.
BPA’s assets were estimated at EUR 3 billion, which far exceeds the annual budget of the Andorran state (EUR 400 million). In the event of the worst-case scenario, the Government would not be able to support the bank.
As a result, all non-toxic assets of BPA were transferred to the new bank called Vall Banc, which was then sold to a private investment company called J.C. Flowers.
Today, Vall Banc located in Andorra is one of the most stable and reliable banks in Europe. The bank has successfully undergone the restructuring procedure and fully complies with the modern requirements of financial regulators.
