  Order subject to penalty on IDSG for failing to comply with demand for information

  DNB

  February 5, 2026

  De Nederlandsche Bank N.V. (DNB) has imposed an order subject to penalty on IDSG Group B.V. (IDSG). This is because IDSG failed to fully comply with DNB’s demand for information.To determine whether IDSG invited repayable funds from the public in non-compliance with Section 3:5 of the Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht – Wft), DNB repeatedly requested – and most recently demanded – that IDSG provide information. When IDSG failed to respond to the demand, DNB determined that IDSG had not met its statutory obligation to cooperate under Section 5:20(1) of the General Administrative Law Act (Algemene wet bestuursrecht – Awb). DNB accordingly imposed an order subject to penalty on IDSG on 3 September 2025, giving the institution 10 business days to comply with its information request.
