Track record

Action taken against them

1 fine in 2021, £178,000 in total. This is part of the official register record and is worth reviewing before going ahead.

  • Fined £178,000 on 6 May 2021
    The Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) has decided to impose a financial penalty on Sapien Capital Limited (“Sapien”) of £178,000.  As a consequence of this action, Sapien will pay the Authority the financial penalty over a three-year period with the final payment due no later than 31 March 2024. The reason for this action is because between 10 February 2015 and 10 November 2015, Sapien had inadequate systems and controls to identify and mitigate the risk of being used to facilitate fraudulent trading and money laundering, thereby breaching Principle 3. Additionally, Sapien breached Principle 2 as it did not exercise due skill, care and diligence in applying its AML policies and procedures and failed to properly assess, monitor and mitigate the risk of financial crime.   The FCA’s action took effect on 6 May 2021 and a copy of the Final Notice, which sets out the reason for the action, is displayed on the FCA's website and can be accessed.
