The Bank of Spain imposed a 16.5 million euro fine on Banc Sabadell for prohibited tied selling practices linking mortgages and insurance. Diari ARA reported that the regulator found the bank violated real estate credit laws through joint sales practices between 2022 and 2023, failing to act impartially regarding its clients' interests.
