The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority requests statement from Norion Bank

MAR

The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (“SFSA”) requests a statement from Norion Bank as a continuation of the previously initiated investigation regarding compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, which was initiated in May 2023 towards Norion Bank and a couple of other market participants.
 
The SFSA has investigated how Norion Bank, during the period from April 30, 2022, to May 1, 2023 has complied with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act and the Financial Supervisory Authority’s regulations on actions against money laundering and financing of terrorism. The investigation has covered the bank’s general risk assessment, client risk assessment, procedures and guidelines for due diligence practices and client due diligence actions.
 
The SFSA preliminarily assesses that Norion Bank has violated requirements and has informed Norion Bank that the case has been handed over for further processing. The SFSA will now consider whether there are grounds to take action against the bank and, if so, how the authority should intervene.
 
Norion Bank has been given the opportunity to comment on the matter no later than February 21, 2025.
 
– We welcome the SFSA’s investigation regarding compliance with anti-money laundering regulations to ensure that the industry in general work actively to combat money laundering and financing of terrorism, says Martin Nossman, CEO, Norion Bank.
