30 Jun 2026 „Paysera LT“, UABPaysera: daily fine for missing annual accounts adds up to 362,000 EUR LithuaniaDisclosure and reporting obligations €362,000

Because Paysera did not comply with the order to submit its 2024 annual financial statements by 30 September 2025, the Lietuvos bankas (Bank of Lithuania, financial supervisor) first imposed 20,000 EUR in November 2025 and then a daily fine of 1,000 EUR (rising to 2,000 and 3,000 EUR respectively). As the infringement was only remedied after 6 May 2026, the daily fine added up to 362,000 EUR. Source: archived copy of the press release.

What organisations can take from it

Running daily fines make every delay expensive – supervisory orders need top-management priority.

5 Sep 2025 „Paysera LT“, UABPaysera took over e-money institution Contis without approval – 400,000 EUR LithuaniaOrganisational requirements €400,000

Paysera acquired 100% of the shares in UAB ‘Finansinės paslaugos „Contis“’ before the assessment period had expired and without a non-objection from the supervisory authority; in April 2025, the Lietuvos bankas (Bank of Lithuania, financial supervisor) objected to the acquisition owing to a lack of documents on reputation, financial soundness and money laundering risks. In addition, the annual financial statements and other reports were not approved and submitted on time. Fine of 400,000 EUR and obligation to remedy by 30 September 2025. Source: archived copy of the press release.

What organisations can take from it

Complete acquisitions of holdings in supervised institutions only after approval – otherwise voting rights are suspended and fines loom.

24 Nov 2023 UAB „Finansinės paslaugos „Contis““Contis: 840,000 EUR for anti-money laundering delegated to partners without oversight LithuaniaCustomer due diligence €840,000

The e-money institution had delegated anti-money laundering tasks to its distribution partners without monitoring them; customer profiles were often not completed, risks (including from crypto-assets) were not assessed, monitoring was insufficient and the second and third lines of defence for ICT risks were missing. Fine of 840,000 EUR, obligation to remedy the deficiencies and restriction on business expansion. Source: archived copy of the press release.

What organisations can take from it

AML duties can be delegated to distribution partners, responsibility cannot – without oversight of the partners, the institution is liable.
