https://ffnews.com/newsarticle/bafin-n26-needs-to-improve-money-laundering-prevention/
The German financial supervisory authority BaFin is dissatisfied with the money laundering prevention at N26.
The regulator is sending a special representative to the challenger bank. So far, this has only happened to one other bank in Germany.
In 2019, the BaFin had already investigated the N26 in the same matter. Since then, N26 has promised several times to cooperate and invest heavily in compliance with BaFin. However, the regulator is apparently not satisfied with what has been achieved.
The exact message goes like this: “On May 11, 2021, BaFin ordered N26 Bank GmbH to take appropriate internal security measures and to comply with general due diligence measures in order to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. A special representative will be appointed to monitor the processing of the order and the status of the elimination of other identified deficiencies.”
N26 points out that it has already strongly advanced the expansion of preventive measures against money laundering in recent years. “Nevertheless, we recognize that more needs to be done in this area,” the company writes, attempting to explain: “Since the beginning of the corona pandemic, criminal activities in connection with online trading have increased significantly worldwide.”
“Fraudsters manipulate third parties into opening new accounts in order to use them for fraudulent purposes. The demands on banks in the fight against crime have increased,” N26 added.
A few months ago, N26 also announced that it seeks to transform itself into a financial holding. As a result, the entire group would now be monitored by BaFin and no longer just the N26 Bank part.
In this context, co-founder Maximilian Tayenthal reported on having an “open and trusting dialogue with the supervisory authorities”.
Also, N26’s anti-money laundering key person, Thomas Ball, announced his departure from N26 on LinkedIn this week in a detailed post – but deleted it again shortly afterwards. Ball joined N26 in November 2018 from Deutsche Bank and officially held the title of “Group Money Laundering Officer”.
One of the most important tasks of the new CFO is likely to end Bafin monitoring quickly and remedy weaknesses in compliance. The new CFO, Jan Kemper, is an ex-ProSieben and Omio CFO and will take over this position at N26 in the second half of the year.
