Germany’s financial supervisory authority issued a fine of 9.2 million euros (U.S. $9.6 million) against mobile bank N26 for “systematically” submitting late anti-money laundering (AML) reports in 2022.
Under German law, reports of transactions related to possible money laundering must be submitted to BaFin “immediately,” the German regulator announced in a translated press release Tuesday.
In July 2023, BaFin extended mandated supervision over N26 after ordering it in May 2021 to improve weak AML controls, with a subsequent $5 million penalty disclosed in September 2021.
