17 Mar 2025 Sparebank 1 ØstlandetSparebank 1 Østlandet: NOK 30m for anti-money laundering failures NorwayInternal controls €2.6m

Finanstilsynet (Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority) fined Sparebank 1 Østlandet NOK 30,000,000 under the Anti-Money Laundering Act after an inspection in September 2022 revealed fundamental shortcomings in risk assessment, procedures, customer risk classification, customer due diligence and ongoing monitoring, as well as a breach of the tipping-off prohibition; the authority classed the breaches as serious and long-standing. It also found that staff training had been inadequate and ordered the bank to complete due diligence measures for one customer. The bank appealed on 8 May 2025. The decision is not final.
