A bank employee took – and did not return – a client’s wallet, which the client had left at the employee’s office. The Prosecutor’s Office sought a reprimand, but the Disciplinary Commission imposed a three month professional ban.

A bank employee was handed a 6 months professional ban for refusing to cooperate in a potential fraud investigation. After €20.000 had gone missing, all signs pointed to one employee possibly being responsible. The employee refused to allow investigating staff access to his mobile banking app. The employee was fired by the bank and reported to the Foundation for Banking Ethics Enforcement. The Disciplinary Commission ruled that the refusel to cooperate constituted a serious breach of the Banker’s Oath. 

The former employee’s name has been added to the foundation’s registry, to which Dutch banks have access.

A bank employee was handed a 3 months professional ban after it was discovered that she had raised the credit limits of her own or her husband’s bank account. This is in breach of the bank’s own rules. The Disciplinary Commission ruled the behavior and the breaking of the bank’s internal rules a violation of the Banker’s Oath. The name of the person will be added to the registry of the Foundation for Banking Ethics Enforcement, which can be accessed by all Dutch banks.

A bank employee was handed a 6 months professional ban because the Disciplinary Commission holds him partially responsible for falsifying a letter and filing it as evidence in a civil court case. The falsified letter refers to a supposed meeting between the bank employee and a client during which matters about the client’s mortgage were supposedly discusses. Such a meeting never took place. The Disciplinary Commission found that the bank employee falsified and filed the letter for his own personal gain; to win the court case. The employee was fired and his name has been entered into the registry of the Foundation for Banking Ethics Enforcement that is accessible by Dutch banks.

Professional bans were handed down to three mortgage advisors at a national bank. The cases are connected to the earlier verdicts against 61 professionals of the same bank, published on April 3, 2019. The names of the employees have been added to the foundation’s registry, to which Dutch banks have access.
