The Fed said on Tuesday that it had terminated the agreement with First Financial Holding and First Commercial Bank, both based in Taipei.

Under the agreement, which was put into place in March 2011, First Financial Holding had to submit a plan for improved oversight of its risk management and anti-money laundering practices. It also required an assessment of senior management in Los Angeles, where the bank has $491 million in assets.
