The Bank of England has issued a public reprimand to the Greensill-linked Wyelands Bank after discovering “wide-ranging significant regulatory failings” at the lender, which is owned by Sanjeev Gupta, boss of the troubled Liberty Steel.
Wyelands was found to have breached a series of rules, including falling short on governance and risk controls, reporting its capital position incorrectly, and failing to retain messages sent on WhatsApp between 2016 and 2020.
