The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) has imposed a penalty payment of EUR 15,000 on Alami Services Oy, a money remittance service provider, for having failed to report to the Financial Intelligence Unit individual or linked payments or remittances with a value of at least EUR 1,000. The reporting is mandatory and concerns each instance of exceeding the sum threshold of EUR 1,000.

The overall assessment concerning the amount of the penalty payment reflects the nature, extent and long duration of the non-compliance with a key obligation in anti-money laundering. In addition, the financial position of Alami Services Oy was taken into consideration in the assessment.

The failures were discovered in an inspection conducted by the FIN-FSA in 2022 intended to examine how Alami Services Oy executes its obligation to comply with the Act on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.

The penalty payment is payable to the State.

The FIN-FSA’s decision is not yet legally binding. Alami Services Oy has the right to appeal against the decision adopted on 3 June 2024 to the Helsinki Administrative Court within 30 days of receipt of the decision.

Den finansiella sektorn i Finland fortsatt kapitalstark - förenkling av regelverken får inte försvaga sektorns motståndskraft mot risker19.3.2026 10:00:00 EET | Pressmeddelande

Trots osäkerheten i omvärlden var den finansiella sektorn i Finland alltjämt kapitalstark 2025. Kapitaltäckningsgraderna för banksektorn låg över nivån för jämförelseåret och också arbetspensionssektorns solvens stärktes. Liv- och skadeförsäkringssektorns solvens var fortsatt god. Geopolitiska spänningar upprätthåller osäkerheten på finansmarknaden och kastar en skugga över den ekonomiska återhämtningen. Det svaga konjunkturläget har ökat kraven på en förenkling av regelverken, men detta bör inte göras på bekostnad av det finansiella systemets motståndskraft mot risker.

Suomen finanssisektorin vakavaraisuus edelleen vahva – sääntelyn yksinkertaistaminen ei saa heikentää riskinkestävyyttä19.3.2026 10:00:00 EET | Tiedote

Toimintaympäristön epävarmuudesta huolimatta Suomen finanssisektorin vakavaraisuus säilyi vuonna 2025 vahvana. Pankkisektorin vakavaraisuussuhteet ylittivät vertailuvuoden tason, ja myös työeläkesektorin vakavaraisuusaste vahvistui. Henki‑ ja vahinkovakuutussektorilla vakavaraisuus pysyi hyvällä tasolla. Geopoliittiset jännitteet ylläpitävät epävarmuutta finanssimarkkinoilla ja varjostavat talouden elpymistä. Talouden heikko suhdannetilanne on lisännyt vaatimuksia sääntelyn keventämisestä, mutta tätä ei tule tehdä rahoitusjärjestelmän riskinkestävyyden kustannuksella.
