In December 2021, the Bank of Lithuania (BoL) fined Wallter €280,000 for violating Lithuania’s Law on Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing. Furthermore, the regulator has imposed additional obligations on Wallter.

The Bank of Lithuania also found that Wallter‘s customer risk assessment procedures had not adequately identified its customers’ money laundering and terrorist financing risks and had not adequately classified customers into risk groups.
