The Bank of Lithuania (LB) conducted a targeted, planned review of Nuvei, an electronic money institution. The regulatory assessment focused specifically on Nuvei’s adherence to requirements concerning the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as the safeguarding of client funds. During this review, several areas of non-compliance were identified.
The noted deficiencies related to several critical operational areas, including the management of potential conflicts of interest, the implementation of enhanced customer identity verification protocols, the monitoring procedures for customer business relationships and transactions, and the execution of internal control mechanisms designed to protect client assets. Following the findings, the company formally applied to the central bank regarding the possibility of establishing an administrative agreement. Nuvei has since issued a statement confirming that it has taken steps to rectify all the violations identified during the inspection.
Furthermore, the institution has committed to submitting a comprehensive plan detailing the corrective actions required to eliminate these deficiencies. This plan must be submitted no later than September 7, 2026. The regulatory oversight ensures that all financial entities operating within the Lithuanian market maintain robust compliance frameworks.
The findings underscore the importance of rigorous adherence to international standards, particularly concerning the ongoing monitoring processes bei managing complex financial activities, kurio scope covers all client interactions. This proactive approach maintains the integrity of the Lithuanian financial sector.
