A former “senior universal banker” and teller at a Massachusetts bank has been prohibited from further service at a financial institution and ordered to pay a $12,000 civil money penalty (CMP), the federal bank deposit insurance agency said Friday.
According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), Anabela Oliveira, formerly of BayCoast Bank in Swansea, Mass., received the prohibition for allegedly misappropriating $44,000 from accounts of a bank client between July 2018 and October 2021 through what the FDIC claimed were 45 unauthorized withdrawal transactions.
The alleged actions caused BayCoast bank a financial loss, and, the FDIC claimed, Oliveira received financial gain.
The agency said Oliveira has been ordered to pay the $12,000 CMP in three payments.
The FDIC also announced two additional prohibitions from further service at financial institutions:
- Mackenzie A. Meggison, a former mortgage loan manager at Malvern Bank in Malvern, Iowa, has been prohibited from further service at financial institutions. Meggison signed a consent order that stated she created withdrawals utilizing bank customer information without their knowledge, misappropriated funds from bank customer accounts, and used the proceeds for her personal gain. The alleged actions happened from 2020-22, the FDIC said; Meggison pleaded guilty to embezzlement by a bank officer in 2024.
- Kiara D. Atkins, a former community branch banker at BB&T Bank (now Truist Bank) in Charlotte, N.C., for misrepresenting material information in her application for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.
