16 Sep 2026 AIFM Capital ABAIFM Capital: 2 million SEK for inadequate selection and oversight of fund managers €177,187
As a so-called fund hotel, the company had its funds managed by other firms, but examined these delegation agreements only insufficiently, did not take the related decisions properly and did not monitor the funds’ returns in relation to risk closely enough. The Swedish financial supervisory authority Finansinspektionen (FI) issued a remark and imposed 2 million SEK; no damage to investors was established.
Outsourcing tasks does not outsource responsibility: document the selection of service providers, the decisions taken and ongoing oversight.

From 2004 to 2018, the three issuers of paper meal vouchers coordinated with retail chains how many vouchers would be accepted per purchase. The President of the Úřad pro ochranu hospodářské soutěže (Czech Office for the Protection of Competition, ÚOHS) dismissed the appeals against the recalculation of the fines: Pluxee 132.271 million, Edenred 101.94 million and Up 44.941 million CZK, a total of 279.152 million CZK.
Coordinating seemingly technical conditions such as acceptance limits is also a cartel – industry discussions need clear boundaries.

From 2 October 2023 to 22 October 2024, contrary to a 2023 ECB decision, Banque Internationale à Luxembourg did not apply the newly approved internal models for the expected loss best estimate (ELBE) of defaulted retail and corporate exposures and therefore reported an IRB shortfall to be deducted from Common Equity Tier 1 capital that was too small. The ECB regarded the breach as intentional and severe and imposed 3,255,000 EUR; remedial action was taken into account as mitigating.
Supervisory decisions on internal models must be implemented on time, even if the previous approach produces more favourable capital figures.

For the period April 2022 to May 2023, the Swedish financial supervisory authority Finansinspektionen (FI) found that the bank’s general risk assessment did not realistically assess the terrorist financing risks of its corporate products and that no enhanced due diligence measures were taken for high-risk corporate customers. FI issued a remark and imposed 140 million SEK; the bank has brought an action before the administrative court.
The money laundering risk assessment must reflect the actual customers and products – a generic assessment leaves the entire customer due diligence open to challenge.

2 Jun 2026 bunq B.V.AFM: €170,000 fine for bunq over late replies to fraud complaints €170,000
On 2 June 2026 the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM, Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets) fined bunq B.V. 170,000 EUR because in seven cases the bank did not give a substantive reply within the statutory 15 working days to complaints from customers who had fallen victim to online fraud (November to December 2023 and April to at least August 2024). Because bunq fully or largely compensated those affected without being legally obliged to, the AFM lowered the base amount from 500,000 to 200,000 EUR; the simplified settlement brought a further 15% reduction.
Complaint processes for payment services need deadline monitoring, especially for fraud victims with large losses.
