Central Bank fined 6 banks and 2 microfinance organisations in October: the Banking Supervision Committee considered 43 issues

According to a message on a Telegram channel (which links to the Central Bank's official page), the Banking Supervision Committee considered 43 issues at 6 meetings in October 2026 and took a decision on each of them.

What was considered?

Area	Number of issues	What exactly
Registration and permits	23	amendments to the charters of credit institutions (8); auditor qualification certificates (2); registration of microfinance organisations, accreditation and a payment organisation licence (4); permission to hold a share in the charter fund (1); candidates for supervisory board and management members and key staff of banks (8)
Financial condition	20	compliance with prudential ratios and Central Bank instructions; results of inspections; testing of financial services within the “regulatory sandbox”

What measures were taken?

Measure	Banks	Microfinance organisations
Fine	6	2
Warning	1	1

According to the message, the fines were imposed for failure to comply with prudential ratios and legal requirements and for violations found during inspections. The warning was issued about the possibility of measures and sanctions. Neither the names of the fined organisations nor the amounts of the fines have been disclosed.

What do the numbers show?

The calculations below were made by the author from the published figures:

Of the 43 issues, 23 (53.5%) concerned registration and permits and 20 (46.5%) concerned financial condition.
In total, 8 fines (6 banks and 2 microfinance organisations) and 2 warnings (1 bank and 1 microfinance organisation) were applied.

Terms in brief

Author's explanation (general meaning): prudential ratios are quantitative requirements set to ensure a bank's financial stability; a “regulatory sandbox” is a procedure for testing new financial services under supervision and in limited conditions.
