Bank of Ireland UK fined £3.7M for delaying anti-fraud system, leaving millions exposed.
Bank of Ireland UK has been fined £3.7 million by the UK’s Payments Systems Regulator for missing the October 2023 deadline to implement the Confirmation of Payee anti-fraud system, leaving over 1.14 million new payees and £6.9 billion in transactions unprotected.
The system, designed to verify payee names and prevent scams, was finally rolled out in January 2025.
The penalty, reduced by 30% for early settlement, reflects the regulator’s strict enforcement of payment security rules.
The bank apologized, confirmed the system is now fully active, and highlighted ongoing investments in AI and monitoring to strengthen fraud prevention.
