Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) has been fined £3.5 million (US$4.5 million) by the U.K.’s financial watchdog for ignoring anti-money laundering (AML) requirements, even after the digital asset exchange was expressly warned to step up its game.

On July 25, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced its first enforcement action against a firm “enabling cryptoasset trading.” The FCA imposed the £3.5 million (US$4.5 million) penalty on Coinbase’s U.K. subsidiary for “repeatedly breaching a requirement that prevented the firm from offering services to high-risk customers.”

CB Payments Limited (CBPL) is a Coinbase offshoot that’s “not currently registered to undertake cryptoasset activities in the UK.” Instead, CBPL is an Authorized Electronic Money Institution (AEMI) that enables customers to deposit fiat cash into e-money wallets which can then be used to purchase and exchange tokens via other Coinbase entities.
