22 Jan 2026 Saxo Bank A/SSaxo Bank: DKK 313m for deficient customer due diligence on white-label clients DenmarkCustomer due diligence €41.9m

Saxo Bank accepted an administrative fine of 313,000,000 DKK from the Finanstilsynet (Danish Financial Supervisory Authority). For a number of customer relationships the bank had not obtained sufficient information on the purpose and intended nature of the business relationship, and between January 2021 and May 2023 it did not carry out ongoing monitoring of the end customers of its white-label partners, to whom it provided its trading platform. The fine was reduced because of the bank's cooperation in the investigation and the remedial steps taken, and in view of the bank's financial solidity.

What organisations can take from it

Anyone who opens their platform to partners for the partners' customers must include those end customers in ongoing anti-money-laundering monitoring.
