The bank, now under UBS Group AG's control, has compensated the affected clients and paid the fine. Credit Suisse has also enhanced its policies to prevent future misconduct. This follows a series of financial issues for the bank, including a $4 billion Q2 loss and a money-laundering probe involving Chinese nationals.
