  • Fined £896,100 on 6 June 2018
    The FCA has fined and imposed a restriction on Canara Bank (Canara) . The reason for this action is because Canara breached Principle 3 (management and control- a firm must take reasonable care to organise and control its affairs responsibly and effectively, with adequate risk management systems) between 26 November 2012 and 29 January 2016. As a consequence of this action, Canara is fined £896,100 and restricted for a period of 147 days from the date of the Final Notice, in respect of its regulated activities only; Canara shall not accept deposits from customers who do not already hold a deposit account with Canara at the date of the Final Notice.   The FCA’s action took effect on 6 June 2018 and a copy of the Final Notice is displayed on the FCA's web site.

The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.
