The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday imposed a $186 million fine on Deutsche Bank’s New York branch&nbsp;for ‘unsafe practices’, including inadequate action towards money laundering control and additional shortcomings.

The fine was levied based on preceding matters concerning deficient controls in Deutsche Bank's&nbsp;ties with the Estonian branch of Denmark’s Danske Bank in 2015 and 2017. The Federal Reserve further added that the German bank must resolve issues and strengthen&nbsp;its&nbsp;data and risk management.

As per a Moneycontrol report, the fine&nbsp;came&nbsp;after Deutsche Bank disbursed about $630 million in 2017 to terminate investigations by the US and the UK concerning Russian equity traders.&nbsp;In the same year, the German lender was also charged $41 million for non-compliance with anti-money laundering activities.

Deutsche Bank stated that it was “positioned to meet regulator’s expectations” and that the bank would resolve the issues in the near future.

As per a Reuters report, the Joe Biden’s government has promised to restrict the recurring corporate offenders and illegal funds in the US financial system. The new fine poses a significant challenge to Stefan Simon, who took over Deutsche Bank's&nbsp;US operations this year.

The German lender has consistently been struggling to maintain firm ties with US and European regulators. German and US regulators are investigating&nbsp;the lender over deceptive marketing claims at the management firm DWS, a sister organisation.&nbsp;

In 2021, the bank paid $125 million in an attempt to avoid suit on allegations for involvement in foreign bribery schemes and collusion of the precious metals market. Additionally, Deutsche also paid $75 million to resolve a charge concerning sex trafficking and women being abused by the late financer Jeffery Epstein. In&nbsp;the same year, the&nbsp;bank settled to pay $200 million to the US Securities and Exchange Commission due to electronic record-keeping failures.&nbsp;
