25 Aug 2026 Kommunal Landspensjonskasse Gjensidig Forsikringsselskap (KLP)KLP: binding commitments after suspected abuse in municipal pensions Order
Konkurransetilsynet (Norwegian Competition Authority) made commitments offered by KLP binding and thereby closed its investigation into a possible abuse of a dominant position in public occupational pensions for municipalities. The authority was concerned that, from 2019, when a competitor entered the market, KLP had systematically discouraged municipalities from putting their occupational pension schemes out to tender; KLP now undertakes to refrain from such influence and to remedy the effects of its earlier practice. No infringement was conclusively established and no fine was imposed.
Dominant companies must not use close customer relationships to deter customers from running tenders – even a suspicion of this can lead to binding obligations.

17 Mar 2025 Sparebank 1 ØstlandetSparebank 1 Østlandet: NOK 30m for anti-money laundering failures €2.6m
Finanstilsynet (Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority) fined Sparebank 1 Østlandet NOK 30,000,000 under the Anti-Money Laundering Act after an inspection in September 2022 revealed fundamental shortcomings in risk assessment, procedures, customer risk classification, customer due diligence and ongoing monitoring, as well as a breach of the tipping-off prohibition; the authority classed the breaches as serious and long-standing. It also found that staff training had been inadequate and ordered the bank to complete due diligence measures for one customer. The bank appealed on 8 May 2025. The decision is not final.
Risk-based anti-money laundering compliance stands or falls with an up-to-date risk assessment and role-specific training tailored to the firm's own procedures.

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.

15 Jan 2025 Danske Bank A/SDanske Bank: NOK 50m for market manipulation in government bond issue €4.27m
Finanstilsynet (Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority) fined Danske Bank A/S NOK 50,000,000 for market manipulation. In the syndication of a ten-year Norwegian government bond of NOK 22 billion in February 2023, whose yield was priced off the Norwegian swap rate, the bank, through its Norwegian branch, pushed the reference rate to an artificial level with interest rate swap trades concentrated around the pricing time, in a situation where it benefited from a higher yield. The fact that the bank had itself approached the supervisory authorities was taken into account as a mitigating factor.
Hedging trades around the setting of reference prices need clear controls so that they are not treated as price manipulation.
