S-Bank is the first so-called supermarket bank in Finland. Changes in legislation about personal accounts at cooperatives made them uncompetitive, such that founding an entirely new bank was actually easier than keeping the personal accounts as cooperative funds. The cooperative did, and the bank continued to, offer a relatively high interest to deposited funds. It was 2.5% in February 2008, although this was cut to 0.2% due to the global recession since 2008. The existing network of supermarket service desks is used to service customers.

Fines

In 2019 S-Bank was fined ca. €1m over lax monitoring of money laundering. No actual money laundering was found, but the problem was poor conformance to legal "know your customer" requirements.[1]

gollark: Reboot it?

gollark: Also also, if you make a centralised stock tracking/price comparison system, please add an API - both for alternate shops to connect and alternative clients.

gollark: Also, I think the threshold for banners is 10% of income?

gollark: Also, CLNinja doing rather bad things does not make yours better. It's mostly fine, in my opinion, but at least clearly state the terms.

gollark: It's not exactly all fine; you add an obtrusive banner.
