€ 100 DSGVO fine for bank branch

A customer wanted to have € 100 changed into Turkish Lira at a bank branch. The employee had requested proof of identity pursuant to Section 5 Z2 of the Federal Act on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in the Financial Market. For this purpose, he made a copy of the driver’s license from the person concerned. However, this measure is only appropriate for monetary amounts of € 1000.00 or more. Thus, the level of protection of the personal data of the data subject must be classified higher and considered as unlawful processing. A GDPR fine of 100 EUR was imposed.
