Swedish Bank Intergiro Loses Permit Over Terror Financing Risks

The Swedish online bank Intergiro has its permit revoked by the Financial Supervisory Authority (FI). This because it is deemed that there are high risks that the company's operations can be exploited for money laundering and financing of terrorism.

According to the supervisory authority, the bank has, among other things, shown significant deficiencies in, for example, reporting suspicious transactions to the Police.

"It has entailed an obvious risk that criminals have been able to exploit Intergiro to launder crime profits. It is very serious and therefore we are revoking Intergiro's permit", says Malin Alpen, head of the payment area at FI, in a press release.

The bank's operations must be wound up by September 19 this year at the latest.

Intergiro became notorious after SVT's Uppdrag granskning in the spring showed that several people convicted of, among other things, economic crimes were in the bank's management and among the owners.

The bank, which only exists online without physical offices, has had a permit to issue electronic money and has also been able to offer certain payment services, such as the execution of payment transactions.
