OMA SAVINGS BANK PLC, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 24 JUNE 2026 14:00 PM, INSIDE INFORMATION
The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has evaluated the operations of Oma Savings Bank Plc for the period 19 December 2018 – 4 February 2025 and has initiated a hearing procedure in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act
On 23 June 2026, Oma Savings Bank Plc (OmaSp or the Company) received a notice of hearing from the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA). The notice of hearing is related to the Company’s credit risk management, governance and management system, and reporting of large customer exposures. FIN-FSA has assessed the bank’s operations for the period 19 December 2018 – 4 February 2025.
According to the assessment presented in the notice of hearing, in the view of the Financial Supervisory Authority, the 25% regulatory limit relating to the largest customer exposure was exceeded during the period from Q4 2022 to Q3 2024. Based on corrected data reviewed by FIN-FSA, the exposures related to the largest customer group have been below the 25% threshold since the fourth quarter of 2024.
The Financial Supervisory Authority is assessing whether the conditions for imposing administrative sanctions, such as an administrative fine or a public warning, have been met.
OmaSp is currently reviewing the notice of hearing and will submit its response to FIN-FSA by the specified deadline. OmaSp has been cooperating with the Financial Supervisory Authority for a long time already and began taking measures in 2024 to improve its credit risk management, reporting practices and internal processes.
OmaSp is preparing for possible sanctions issued by FIN-FSA and made a provision of EUR 2.5 million in the second quarter of 2026. The Company will issue a separate release relating to the Financial Supervisory Authority’s decision and any effects on the Company once FIN-FSA announces its decision in this matter.
