Latest Compliance News: Regulatory Developments, Sanctions, Guidance, Permissions, and New Product and Service Offerings

ABC Projektai, CJEU, Lithuania

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has ruled that ABC Projektai, an online payments firm based in Lithuania, can regain its banking license, which was previously revoked by the Bank of Lithuania.

Previously known as Bruc Bond UAB, ABC Projektai had its banking license revoked in April 2020 due to allegations of holding customer funds longer than necessary for online transactions.

The Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania (SACL) accepted the company’s appeal. The ruling recognized ABC Projektai’s compliance efforts and adherence to regulations, according to a statement from the company last week.

Starting 1 July 2024, the fintech firm will be able to operate under a full banking license once again.

This case highlights the rare instance where a regulatory decision to ban a financial entity is later overturned by a higher legal authority.

“The court, in agreement with the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), found that the primary allegation against ABC Projektai—exceeding the limits of its payment institution license—was unfounded,” the firm stated.

“This complete vindication is a significant relief as it validates our operational practices and unwavering commitment to regulatory compliance,” a spokesperson for ABC Projektai commented.

The court deemed the initial penalty of permanent revocation excessively harsh and disproportionate under the given circumstances. It also confirmed that there was no evidence of intentional wrongdoing by ABC Projektai.

ABC Projektai noted that it received support from other EU member states, including Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic, as well as the European Commission.

The BFSI sector is optimal for implementing zero trust security solutions, as being the segment most susceptible to such threats and subjected to strict legal restraints. BFSIs have identified key factors to explain why who must invest in cybersecurity, such as the increasing number of ransomware attacks, regulations and forced labor. In short, remote employees and third parties also have additional information as it is difficult to express themselves. The introduction of zero trust security market is accelerating in this sector due to widespread adoption.

Healthcare organizations are now rapidly adopting trustless security, as the need for improved access control and protection of patient data is essential. Lack of trust through a minimum privilege policy make it possible for doctors to access all patient records simultaneously. This access is the important one as it is often the target of cybersecurity threats so issues with patient data being breached security and industry compliance makes healthcare one of the fastest growing markets for trust-free security solutions.

Empowering Multifactor Authentication Segment: Zero Trust Security for Every Role

A key segment in the zero trust security market is multifactor authentication. Companies such as Microsoft, Google and the industry identified the most reliable way to deal with security attacks as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with a ranking of 99. It also found that 9% of automated bot threats have been blocked for therefore it established its trust to enhance security. This great success rate of zero trust security encourages the use of MFA as an important prospective means of constantly obtaining and verifying its authorization. MFA is gaining popularity among organizations for mitigating new and improved threats as its adoption helps expand the zero security market among organizations to protect their valuable assets.

The single-factor approach uses only one credential for authentication, such as a password or OTP as opposed to a username. In this authentication mode, it is important to use a combination of letters, cases, numeric values and symbols to ensure that a strong password is created because this creates difficulties and time for hackers to use permutations and combinations.

TISE reports sustained listings growth in first half

Published

on

ST PETER PORT, Guernsey, July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The International Stock Exchange (TISE) listed 444 securities during the first half of 2024, an 18.4% increase on the equivalent period last year.

The new listings contributed to the total number of securities on TISE’s Official List reaching 4,371 on 30 June 2024, which is an increase of 5.6% year-on-year and a record high in the history of the Exchange.

The total market value of all listed securities surpassed the £700 billion mark for the first time, reaching £708 billion at the end of June.

Cees Vermaas, CEO of TISE, said: “I am delighted to report strong listing volumes on our public market during the first half of 2024. Global macro-economic conditions had subdued listing activity across the European corporate bond markets during the last couple of years but, with inflation under control, interest rates coming down and an improved outlook for growth, business flows have now started to recover. We are very pleased that clients continue to recognise our strengths as a leading European venue for listing bonds offered to institutional and professional investors.”

During the first half of the year, there were 436 newly listed securities admitted to TISE’s leading European professional bond market, the Qualified Investor Bond Market (QIBM). TISE has maintained its market-leader position across both private equity debt and high yield bonds and with the securitisation market also rebounding in 2024, TISE continues to grow its reputation as a listing venue for this debt product.

There were eight newly listed securities across TISE’s equity market during the first six months of the year as it sustained its position as the second largest venue for listed UK REITs, just behind the London Stock Exchange (LSE).

Mr Vermaas added: “This is a very positive opening six months of the year. We saw strong growth in new listings during the first quarter and this has continued through the second quarter as the soft-landing narrative has been sustained, primarily owing to the resilient growth in the US economy. M&A activity is returning, the wave of refinancing continues and now a lower interest rate environment is bringing more new high yield corporates to the market. A continuation of this upward momentum in the economic picture gives us reason to be optimistic for the second half of the year.”
