Credit Suisse Group AG (CSGN.EB) said Wednesday that its Hong Kong unit has reached a non-prosecution pact with the U.S. Department of Justice relating to hiring practices in the Asia-Pacific region between 2007 and 2013.

The bank said it will pay a penalty of about $47 million to the Justice Department, and has already provided for that sum in previous periods. The penalty will have no material effect on the company's second-quarter financial results, it said.

Credit Suisse said no criminal charges have been brought and that the matter didn't affect the services provided to clients, investors or counterparts.

Credit Suisse said it has implemented different improvements to its compliance and controls function since 2013.
