TLDR Denmark’s financial regulator, Finanstilsynet, issued an injunction against payments firm Inpay. The order follows a March 2026 inspection that found breaches of the Money Laundering Act.

Denmark’s financial regulator has taken action against a payments company that serves the online gambling industry. The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, known as Finanstilsynet, issued an injunction against Inpay on Monday.
The regulator said the firm broke rules under the Money Laundering Act. Inpay is based in Copenhagen and also has an office in London.
The company provides payment services for online gaming businesses. It also handles fiat and crypto payments for clients in other sectors.
What the regulator found
Finanstilsynet carried out an inspection of Inpay in March 2026. The inspection looked at how the firm manages money laundering risks.
Regulators said Inpay failed to update its checks on customers when their circumstances changed. The firm also did not properly review the purpose of its relationships with online gaming clients.
Finanstilsynet said this group of clients carries high risk for money laundering and terrorist financing. The regulator also said Inpay did not monitor outgoing payments from these customers closely enough.
Finanstilsynet said these failings applied to most of Inpay’s customer base. It added that this group makes up a large share of the company’s total transaction volume.
Most of these clients are based outside Denmark and the wider European Union.
Inpay’s response and what happens next
Inpay said it takes the regulator’s decision seriously. The company said its board chose to stop taking on new online gaming customers on
