On Friday, February 9, 2018 two more banks, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd. and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corp., agreed to a $30 million settlement for investors who suffered as a result of the banks’ manipulation of the Yen-Libor and Euroyen Tibor benchmark rates and the prices of Euroyen-based derivatives.

The two Mitsubishi banks join four other banks – Citigroup ($23m), HSBC Holdings PLC and HSB Bank PLC ($35m), J.P. Morgan ($77m) and Deutsche Bank ($71m) who had previously settled with affected investors last year. This brings the settlement pool to $236 million, and the total number of settlement of settled bank defendants to five. Outstanding claims remain against 20+ non-settling defendants.
