27 Mar 2026 Dinosaur Merchant Bank LimitedDinosaur Merchant Bank: 338,000 GBP – CFD trading without market abuse surveillance United KingdomOrganisational requirements €389,760

After a new order management system was introduced in June 2024, CFD transactions with an underlying value of around 3.05 billion USD were not captured by automated trade surveillance. The bank identified the error in October 2024 but only remedied it in May 2025; the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) imposed 338,000 GBP after a 30% cooperation discount.

What organisations can take from it

With every system migration, check whether surveillance systems actually capture the new data flows.
