27 Feb 2025 Rogaland SparebankRogaland Sparebank: NOK 1.2m fine for failing to freeze an account €102,551
Gulating lagmannsrett (Gulating Court of Appeal) sentenced Rogaland Sparebank (formerly Sandnes Sparebank) to a corporate fine of NOK 1,200,000 because in April and May 2020 the bank failed to freeze an account opened in the name of a person on the UN Al-Qaida sanctions list and booked 13 payments totalling NOK 45,828 to it; the bank must also pay NOK 50,000 in legal costs. Hordaland tingrett (district court) had initially acquitted the bank; on 21 May 2025 the appeals committee of the Høyesterett (Supreme Court) refused leave for the bank's appeal.
Suspicious transaction reporting does not replace sanctions screening: funds of listed persons must be frozen immediately, even if the account was formally opened at the request of a third party.
