German bank regulator threatens Solaris with fines for anti-money laundering controls

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – The German bank regulator BaFin said on Friday that it had threatened to fine Berlin-based Solaris if it doesn’t meet deadlines to improve anti-money laundering controls and other shortfalls.

BaFin also said that it was extending the mandate of a special monitor installed since 2022 to oversee progress.

Solaris said that it was continuing “to make significant progress … to implement additional measures addressing the identified deficiencies”.

It called the extension of the monitor’s mandate a “formality” and said wouldn’t impact its operations.
