The Swedish financial supervisory authority, Finansinspektionen (FI), has issued payment company Klarna an official warning and a fine of 500 million Swedish kronor (SEK). This decision follows an investigation into deficiencies in Klarna’s anti-money laundering policy. 

According to FI, Klarna has failed to take sufficient action to manage risks in its operations, despite previous warnings from the authority. FI stated that the shortcomings were serious enough to warrant action but did not justify harsher sanctions. 

Klarna has indicated that it will implement measures to address the identified issues and improve its internal processes.
