Summary

  • Den danske anklagemyndighed kræver en bøde på 6,6 milliarder DKK (cirka 890 MEUR) fra Nordea for mangler i forebyggelse af hvidvaskning af penge i 2012-2015.
  • Nordeas stærke balance kan modstå bøden, som udgør mindre end en femtedel af det estimerede nettoresultat for indeværende år.
  • Nordea afviser anklagerne og finder den tilbagevirkende anvendelse af lovgivningen problematisk, hvilket kan påvirke udfaldet af retssagen.
  • Den danske finanstilsyn har også indgivet en politianmeldelse mod Nordeas danske datterselskab for udstedelse af kreditkort uden tilstrækkelig dokumentation.

If newspaper reports are to be believed, the Danish public prosecutor's office is demanding a fine of DKK 6.6 billion, or approximately 890 MEUR, from Nordea in connection with an ongoing legal process. The case concerns deficiencies in the bank's anti-money laundering efforts several years ago (2012–2015). Although this is a significant amount, it is only the prosecutor's demand. The news is naturally negative, but Nordea's strong balance sheet would easily withstand a potential blow.

Stærk balance kan modstå et potentielt slag

Hvis bøden skulle falde ud til de krævede 890 MEUR, ville det svare til mindre end en femtedel af vores estimerede nettoresultat for indeværende år. Nordea har allerede tidligere hensat til en potentiel bøde, men dette beløb er under 100 MEUR og dermed betydeligt lavere end den krævede bøde. Samtidig er Nordeas kapitalposition stærk, hvilket betyder, at bankens balance uden problemer ville kunne modstå et endnu større slag. En bøde, der er større end forventet, kunne dog reducere bankens ekstra kapitalbuffere og dermed i nogen grad påvirke størrelsen af fremtidige aktietilbagekøbsprogrammer.

Det er meget udfordrende at forudsige udfaldet af retssagen

Nordea afviser anklagerne og finder den retrospektive anvendelse af lovgivningen problematisk. En potentiel sanktion kan derfor afvige betydeligt fra anklagerens oprindelige krav. Vi vil følge retssagens udvikling, men foretager på nuværende tidspunkt ingen ændringer i vores estimater.

Det danske finanstilsyn har også for nylig indgivet en politianmeldelse mod Nordeas danske datterselskab, da tilsynet mener, at der eksempelvis er udstedt kreditkort til kunder uden tilstrækkelig dokumentation. Dette er en helt separat proces, som stadig er i sin vorden. Nordea har endnu ikke kommenteret disse anklager via officielle kanaler.

Nordea seemed to have a provision of €95m, so considering that as well, it sounds like a good outcome.
