Swedish regulator imposes SEK 14 million fine on ClearOn

Sweden’s financial markets regulator FI today announced the imposition of an administrative fine of SEK 14 million on payments company ClearOn.

Finansinspektionen has investigated ClearOn’s compliance with the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act (2017:630)with regard to the rules on risk assessment, risk assessment of customers, procedures and guidelines for customer due diligence, and customer due diligence measures. The investigation shows that there have been deficiencies in all reviewed areas.

The deficiencies have been of such a nature that FI assesses there to be grounds on which to intervene against ClearOn. Several of the matters refer to severe violations that have been ongoing for a long period of time. There have therefore been grounds on which to consider withdrawing the company’s authorisation.

ClearOn has taken and plans to take a large number measures to address the deficiencies. FI makes the assessment that ClearOn is willing and has the ability to implement these measures and that they will substantially reduce the risk of new or similar regulatory violations.

The regulator considers that the expectation that ClearOn will address the deficiencies and in the future comply with the regulations is strong enough to be sufficient to issue the company a warning. However, due to the severity and scope of the violations, the warning that FI is issuing to ClearOn is accompanied by an administrative fine.
