8 May 2026 Permanent TSB plcDPC: 277,500 EUR against Permanent TSB after account takeovers via call centre calls €277,500
Fraudsters in possession of customer data posed as customers at the bank's ‘Open24’ call centre, had account details changed and obtained further information because security protocols were not followed; those affected had to close accounts, and some suffered losses. Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) imposed 250,000 EUR for inadequate security and 27,500 EUR for late breach notification (decision served in the week before the press release).
Call centre staff must adhere to identity checks without exception – callers with ‘matching’ data are not automatically authorised.

5 Nov 2025 Coinbase Europe LimitedIreland: 21.5 million EUR against Coinbase Europe – 30 million transactions unchecked €21.5m
In a settlement of 5 November 2025, the Central Bank of Ireland imposed a reprimand and 21,464,734 EUR (after a 30% discount on 30,663,906 EUR) for breaches of transaction monitoring obligations between April 2021 and March 2025: because of configuration errors in the monitoring system, more than 30 million transactions worth over 176 billion EUR – around 31% of all transactions – were not properly monitored over a period of twelve months. The subsequent review took almost three years and led to 2,708 suspicious transaction reports; the High Court confirmed the sanction on 12 January 2026, and it is the Central Bank's first enforcement action in the crypto sector.
Test monitoring rules regularly for complete coverage – a silent configuration error can go undetected for years.

2 Jul 2025 Swilly Mulroy Credit Union LimitedIreland: small credit union accepted cash from non-members without checks €36,273
Between 2014 and 2021, the credit union solicited cash from persons without an account and accepted 2,329 cash deposits totalling 8.75 million EUR without the required anti-money laundering checks; the board had known about the risk since 2015, and there was no self-reporting. The Central Bank of Ireland imposed a reprimand and 36,273 EUR (after a 30% discount on 51,819 EUR).
Even small cooperative banks must identify cash from non-customers – and would do better to self-report known risks.
