❗ Big case showing on practical example why internal controls and antifraud procedures are of crucial importance!

💰 This week the Central Bank of Lithuania has fined Revolut for EUR 3,5 million. This fine is the largest ever issued by the Lithuanian central bank. The reason are "the violations and deficiencies in the monitoring of business relationships and operations (transactions)".

💬 Revolut spokesman said "the investigation had not identified any confirmed instances of money laundering, and its findings were related to improvements in existing controls."
More details in Reuters article and official statement of Central Bank of Lithuania (link in comments).

Lithuania's central bank has fined Britain's most valuable start-up Revolut 3.5 million euros ($3.83 million) for failures in money-laundering prevention, the bank said on Monday.
