Dutch bank ING Group NV said Tuesday that it agreed to pay a fine of €675 million ($782 million) and disgorge €100 million ($115 million) to resolve criminal investigations into lax business practices.

The Amsterdam-based bank said its resolution with the Dutch Public Prosecution Service related to requirements for client on-boarding, the prevention of money laundering, and corrupt practices.

ING said in a disclosure filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that the investigations “established serious shortcomings in the execution of policies to prevent financial economic crime” from 2010 to 2016.
