UBS $1.5bn fine over Libor rigging

The Swiss banking giant UBS has been ordered to pay a fine of $1.5bn (£940m) to US, UK and Swiss regulators for attempting to manipulate the Libor inter-bank lending rate.

It is the second major bank to be fined over Libor rigging after British bank Barclays was ordered to pay $450m to UK and US authorities in the summer.

Libor tracks the average rate at which the major international banks based in London lend to each other.
