The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has
announced a proceeding against N26 Bank AG due to deficiencies in reporting
suspicious activities in 2022. As a result, BaFin will impose a fine of 9.2
million EUR on the bank.
Investing in Compliance Measures
In response to these shortcomings, N26 has taken steps since
2022 to enhance its reporting processes. The bank has invested over 80 million
EUR in both personnel and technical infrastructure to uphold high industry
standards in combating financial crime and money laundering.
N26 had already anticipated a potential fine and made
provisions for it in its 2022 annual financial statements. The actual fine
imposed is less than the amount set aside. The bank has expressed its
commitment to continuing its cooperative and trusted relationship with
regulators on these matters.
