Question about TM domain

I have a domain name of a bank based solely in the United States. The domain is a very close typing error for a small bank based in the Southeast US colonialbaxx.com.

My question is can I legally hold this domain if it is not registered under a US address? I am not living in the United States and the domain is registered under a Canadian address? I have residence in Canada and my partner is based in Korea.

Can the company legitimately come after me for holding this domain or would I be able to park it without any problems or concerns. Advice is appreciated.

So it's a typo of a US bank?

As is the .com registry. No matter where you are.

On the scale of typo's, bank typos are particularly bad.
