<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.leaprate.com/tag/credit-suisse/" rel="noopener">Credit Suisse</a> has denied wrongdoing.</p>
<p>The bank stated:</p>
<blockquote><p>Credit Suisse strongly rejects the allegations and insinuations about the bank’s purported business practices. The matters presented are predominantly historical, in some cases dating back as far as the 1940s, and the accounts of these matters are based on partial, inaccurate, or selective information taken out of context, resulting in tendentious interpretations of the bank&#8217;s business conduct.</p></blockquote>
<p>The bank added:</p>
<blockquote><p>Approximately 90% of the reviewed accounts are today closed or were in the process of closure prior to receipt of the press inquiries, of which over 60% were closed before 2015. Of the remaining active accounts, we are comfortable that appropriate due diligence, reviews and other control related steps were taken in line with our current framework. We will continue to analyze the matters and take additional steps if necessary.</p></blockquote>
