14 Jul 2025 Barclays Bank PlcFCA: £39.3m fine for Barclays Bank Plc over money laundering risks of a corporate client United KingdomCustomer due diligence €45.4m

On 14 July 2025 the FCA fined Barclays Bank Plc £39,314,700 for breaching Principle 2 (due skill, care and diligence). The FCA found that between January 2015 and April 2021 the bank did not properly identify, assess and monitor the money laundering risks posed by one corporate client: apart from March 2019 to May 2020 it treated the client as low risk without knowing enough about its business or where its wealth and funds came from, and it did not reassess that rating when new warning signs emerged. Barclays settled with the FCA and received a 30% discount; without it the fine would have been £56,163,900.

25 Nov 2024 Barclays Bank plcFCA: £10m fine for Barclays Bank plc over incomplete 2008 prospectuses United KingdomDisclosure and reporting obligations €12m

The FCA fined Barclays Bank plc £10 million. The FCA found that, in connection with the October 2008 capital raising, the bank issued financial instruments whose prospectuses did not mention an advisory agreement with a Qatari investor group and the related fees, which in its view made them misleading. The FCA found a failure to take reasonable care over published information; a separate decision was issued against the parent Barclays plc. Barclays Bank plc had referred the decision notice of 23 September 2022 to the Upper Tribunal but withdrew the reference on 22 November 2024.
