Why we are consultingOn 30 September 2026 we published Policy Statement PS26/19, setting out the new regime for sustainability disclosures for listed issuers.These new rules will come into force on 1 January 2027.In CP26/5 (PDF) we said that we…
AI Analysis
The FCA is consulting on technical guidance supporting the new UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS) disclosure regime for listed issuers, which applies to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The proposals would introduce Technical Note 803.1 on the FCA’s expectations for comply-or-explain disclosures, amend the existing sustainability disclosure note, and remove the TCFD-specific note; market commentary indicates that issuers should prepare for granular explanations, transition-plan reporting and phased implementation reliefs.
Key dates
2026-09-30
The FCA published GC26/6 and PS26/19; the consultation on the proposed Knowledge Base changes opened.
2026-10-28 Deadline
Deadline for comments on the proposed Technical Note 803.1, amendments to TN 801.4 and deletion of TN 802.3.
2027-01-01
The new UK SRS sustainability disclosure rules apply to accounting periods beginning on or after this date.
2029-01-01
The transitional reliefs for Scope 3 and UK SRS S1 disclosures are expected to fall away for accounting periods beginning on or after this date.
Suggested considerations
Compliance teams may wish to review the proposed TN 803.1 and assess whether current annual-report processes can produce sufficiently specific explanations for each UK SRS disclosure that is omitted or only partially provided.
Issuers should consider mapping existing TCFD disclosures, sustainability reporting and climate metrics against UK SRS S1 and UK SRS S2, identifying gaps in governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets.
Issuers should consider establishing ownership, evidence trails and internal controls for Scope 3 data, transition-plan disclosures and explanations of non-compliance, including procedures for board or audit committee review.
Listed companies may wish to assess whether they have published a climate-related transition plan and prepare the required statement on its existence and location, or the reasons why no plan has been published.
Issuers should consider confirming whether third-party sustainability assurance has been obtained and how that status will be described in the annual financial report.
Compliance teams may wish to plan for the transitional relief timetable, including the one-year Scope 3 deferral and two-year deferral for UK SRS S1 disclosures, while avoiding reliance on reliefs that will no longer be available for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2029.
Interested parties should consider submitting comments on the proposed Knowledge Base changes to the FCA by 28 October 2026.
Legal, reporting and investor-relations teams may wish to monitor the final version of TN 803.1 before the new rules apply and update disclosure templates, reporting calendars and controls accordingly.
What changed
The FCA proposes to add Primary Market/TN/803.1, “UK SRS sustainability disclosures for listed companies”, explaining the expected level of detail where an issuer complies with, or explains non-compliance with, UK SRS requirements. It proposes consequential amendments to Primary Market/TN/801.4, “Disclosures in relation to sustainability matters, including climate change”, and deletion of Primary Market/TN/802.3, “TCFD aligned climate-related disclosure requirements for listed companies”.
Compliance impact
This is a consultation on guidance rather than a new standalone binding obligation, but it supports final FCA rules that materially change listed-issuer annual-reporting requirements from 1 January 2027. Inadequate UK SRS disclosures or vague explanations may create financial-reporting, governance and regulatory-risk concerns, particularly because the FCA expects explanations to identify omitted requirements, reasons for omission and steps toward future compliance.

AI Analysis
The FCA has finalised Primary Market Technical Notes 619.3 and 321.5 following PMB 63, introducing greater flexibility for issuers preparing prospectus working capital statements under the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024. In specified circumstances, directors may take certain uncommitted facilities into account when issuing a clean working capital statement, but issuers must provide accompanying disclosure and use a qualified statement where the facilities cannot be treated as available. PMB 66 also provides material reminders on sustainability reporting, cyber-incident disclosure under UK MAR, Chinese auditing standards for certain Stock Connect issuers and UK Listing Rules checklist requirements.

2027-03-18
FCA operational incident and third-party reporting rules in PS26/2 come into force.
2028-01-01
The FCA expects the first reporting cycle affected by the new sustainability disclosure framework to occur in 2028, depending on the issuer's financial year.
Suggested considerations
Issuers and advisers should reassess prospectus working capital models to determine whether each uncommitted facility can reasonably be treated as available for the entire working capital period, including under the reasonable worst-case scenario.
Where uncommitted facilities are relied upon, firms should document the directors' assessment, the assumptions and the accompanying prospectus disclosure required by Guidelines 33.1 and 33.2 of Technical Note 619.3.
Firms should test all risk factors, liquidity disclosures and business-plan assumptions for consistency with a clean working capital statement and consider a qualified statement where the prospectus describes risks fundamentally inconsistent with clean working capital.
Sponsors, reporting accountants and legal advisers should update working capital checklists, verification procedures, prospectus precedents and review controls for Technical Notes 619.3 and 321.5.
Listed companies should prepare for UK Sustainability Reporting Standards and the UK Listing Rules changes applying to accounting periods beginning on or after 2027-01-01 by identifying material sustainability risks and opportunities, reviewing governance and controls, and planning for the Scope 3 and non-climate S1 transitional deferrals.
Issuers should maintain a documented, case-by-case process for assessing whether a cyber incident or vulnerability is inside information under Article 7 UK MAR, whether disclosure is required under Article 17(1), and whether delay under Article 17(4) remains justified and confidential.
Firms should monitor cyber incidents after initial containment for new inside information concerning operational impact, duration, remediation costs, protection costs, reputational effects or changes to financial outlook, and should document information-sharing with authorities under Articles 10 and 17(8) UK MAR.
Relevant firms should familiarise themselves with the operational incident and third-party reporting framework in PS26/2 ahead of its 2027-03-18 commencement.
What changed
Technical Note 619.3 now permits an issuer to take financing under certain uncommitted facilities into account when assessing working capital for the entire working capital period, where the directors judge that the facilities can be considered available throughout that period. A clean working capital statement may then be issued, provided the prospectus includes appropriate disclosure alongside the statement, including the relevant basis-of-preparation information and the fact that uncommitted facilities were taken into account.
Compliance impact
The working capital changes are targeted rather than a new broad obligation, but they materially affect prospectus preparation, director judgments, sponsor diligence and liability-sensitive disclosure because a clean statement must remain consistent with risk factors and reasonable worst-case funding needs. The cyber observations reinforce that disclosure, delay and confidentiality decisions under UK MAR may arise repeatedly throughout an incident, while the sustainability and operational-reporting elements require forward planning for 2027 implementation.

AI Analysis
The FCA has finalised revised guidance on prospectus working capital statements and is consulting on new guidance for listed companies applying the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS) on a comply-or-explain basis. The changes give issuers limited flexibility to rely on certain uncommitted financing facilities, while creating a near-term implementation and governance workstream for sustainability reporting from accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2027; the FCA has also signalled that cyber incidents require prompt, case-by-case assessment for possible inside information under UK MAR.
Key dates
2026-10-28 Deadline
Deadline for comments on proposed TN 803.1, consequential updates to TN 801.4 and deletion of TN 802.3.
2027-01-01
New UK Listing Rules sustainability disclosure requirements apply to accounting periods beginning on or after this date.
2028-01-01
The FCA expects to focus initially on helping issuers prepare for the first reporting cycle under the new sustainability disclosure regime, which is expected to occur in 2028.
Suggested considerations
Issuers preparing prospectuses should assess whether each uncommitted facility is available for the entirety of the working capital period, document the reasonable worst-case scenario analysis and determine whether a clean or qualified working capital statement is supportable.
Prospectus teams should review the additional disclosure expected under TN 619.3 and ensure that risk-factor drafting is consistent with the working capital conclusion, particularly where financing assumptions may require disclosure under Regulation 23 of the POATRs.
Listed companies should review the proposed TN 803.1 and consider submitting consultation responses to the FCA by 28 October 2026, including views on the level of detail required for both compliance statements and explanations.
Sustainability, finance, legal and company-secretarial functions should map UK SRS requirements to existing TCFD, climate, sustainability and home-market reporting processes, including the one-year Scope 3 and two-year non-climate S1 transitional deferrals.
Issuers should identify financially material sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities, assess their effect on cash flows, access to finance and cost of capital, and establish data, metrics, targets and controls capable of supporting the first reporting cycle.
Boards and senior management should review governance arrangements, business-model resilience processes, internal controls and training for UK SRS reporting, consistent with Listing Principle 1 and UKLR 2.2.1R.
Companies choosing to explain rather than comply should ensure the explanation is specific, evidence-based and reconciled with annual-report risk disclosures under DTR 4.1.8R rather than relying on generic language.
International issuers should assess whether proposed TN 803.1 permits reliance on equivalent home-market disclosures without creating gaps against UK SRS requirements.
What changed
Final Technical Note 619.3 permits an issuer, in specified circumstances, to take financing under uncommitted facilities into account when preparing a clean working capital statement, provided the facility can reasonably be regarded as available for the entirety of the working capital period. The issuer should provide accompanying disclosure explaining the relevant basis and financing assumptions. If the uncommitted facility cannot be considered available and sufficient committed financing cannot be secured, the prospectus should contain a qualified working capital statement.
Compliance impact
The working capital changes are targeted guidance but may affect prospectus sign-off, financing assumptions, risk-factor drafting and sponsor or adviser assurance. The sustainability provisions create a substantial implementation programme for listed issuers, while the cyber observations increase the importance of rapid escalation and documented UK MAR assessments; failure to make required disclosures or provide an adequate explanation may create listing, disclosure and market-abuse risk.

AI Analysis
The FCA published FG26/10 on 30 September 2026, providing non-Handbook guidance for cryptoasset firms completing the overall risk assessment required by CRYPTOPRU 7. The guidance is effective from 25 October 2027 and materially expands practical expectations around severe-but-plausible stress testing, own-funds and liquidity assessments, recovery planning, contingency funding and orderly wind-down, including crypto-specific scenarios such as private-key loss, stablecoin de-pegging, exchange failure and withdrawal surges.
Key dates
2026-06-30
The FCA opened consultation on the proposed CRYPTOPRU 7 guidance.
2026-07-30
Consultation on the proposed guidance closed.
2026-09-30
The FCA finalised and published FG26/10.
2027-10-25 Deadline
FG26/10 comes into force alongside the FCA's new UK cryptoasset regime.
Suggested considerations
Firms should map their current CRYPTOPRU 7 overall risk assessment against FG26/10, documenting any gaps in risk identification, stress testing, financial-resource calculations, recovery planning and wind-down analysis.
Compliance and prudential teams may wish to confirm that the own-funds requirement is calculated as the highest of the permanent minimum requirement, fixed overheads requirement and K-factor requirement, and that the own-funds threshold requirement is not below that amount.
Firms should consider developing severe-but-plausible scenarios that combine cryptoasset price declines, customer withdrawal surges, counterparty or exchange failure, cyber incidents, private-key compromise, reduced market liquidity, stablecoin de-pegging and infrastructure outages.
Firms should assess whether collateral, committed facilities, group support, banking arrangements, custody structures and other mitigants are legally, operationally and practically available under stress, rather than relying solely on their accounting treatment.
Firms should prepare or refresh a stressed 90-day cash-flow forecast covering peak and cumulative liquidity needs, including margin calls, settlement failures, client drawdowns, pre-funding requirements and delayed or unavailable funding.
Firms should assess their funding profile over the following 12 months, including renewal and rollover risk, withdrawal of facilities, reduced group funding and increased funding costs.
Firms should establish a contingency funding plan with quantitative internal triggers above regulatory thresholds, credible actions within management control, implementation timelines, impediments and communication arrangements.
Firms should distinguish recovery actions that management can execute directly from actions dependent on shareholders, banks, counterparties, group entities or buyers, and should consider whether limited recovery capacity requires earlier wind-down triggers.
What changed
FG26/10 does not create a new standalone binding rule or prescribe a single methodology; it explains how firms should evidence compliance with the binding requirements in CRYPTOPRU 7 and should be applied proportionately to the firm's nature, scale and complexity. Firms should begin with their business model, strategy and risk appetite, identify market, leverage, credit, liquidity, operational and concentration risks, assess interactions between those risks, and evaluate whether mitigants remain effective under stress.
Compliance impact
The guidance is non-binding and illustrative, but it provides a detailed indication of the FCA's supervisory expectations for demonstrating adequate financial resources under CRYPTOPRU 7. Weak documentation, unrealistic stress scenarios, reliance on unavailable liquidity or poorly evidenced recovery and wind-down capacity could make it difficult for a firm or its governing body to demonstrate compliance and could expose the firm to prudential, operational and orderly-exit concerns.

AI Analysis
The FCA published FG26/9 on 30 September 2026 to explain how firms subject to COREPRU 7 should integrate business-model analysis, risk appetite, financial-resource planning, stress testing and wind-down planning into a single overall risk assessment (ORA). The guidance is non-Handbook and primarily clarifies existing COREPRU 7 obligations, but it sets detailed supervisory expectations for setting own funds and liquidity thresholds, documenting judgments and maintaining a current, evidence-based assessment; it comes into force on 25 October 2027.
Key dates
2026-06-30
FCA consultation on GC26/4 opened.
2026-07-30
FCA consultation on GC26/4 closed.
2026-09-30
FCA published finalised guidance FG26/9.
2027-10-25
FG26/9 comes into force as non-Handbook guidance on COREPRU 7.
Suggested considerations
Firms should map all regulated and unregulated activities, group dependencies and outsourced services into an inventory of risks capable of causing material harm to clients or the market.
Compliance and prudential teams may wish to document a clear chain from business model and risk appetite through material risks, controls, stress scenarios, OFTR, LATR, early-warning indicators and management actions.
Firms should assess own funds and liquid assets separately for ongoing operations and wind-down, test the timing of cash inflows and outflows, and evidence that thresholds meet the applicable OFR, BLAR and sectoral minimums.
Firms should consider whether their business plan, normally covering approximately three years, has been stress tested against sufficiently severe but plausible firm-specific, market-wide and concurrent scenarios, including reverse stress testing to failure.
Firms should review whether wind-down plans specify triggers, execution steps, timing, costs, cashflow sequencing and resource needs under stressed conditions.
Firms should establish governance, independent challenge, version control and documentation standards that preserve the rationale, assumptions, evidence and judgments supporting the ORA.
Firms may wish to schedule implementation work ahead of 25 October 2027, notwithstanding that the underlying COREPRU 7 obligations already apply and the guidance is non-Handbook.
Firms should plan an annual ORA review, additional reviews following material business-model or operating-model changes, and retention of the approved ORA for at least three years.
What changed
FG26/9 provides an integrated framework for complying with COREPRU 7.2.1R and the overall financial adequacy rule, covering all regulated and unregulated activities, group and outsourcing dependencies, material-harm risks, risk appetite, systems and controls, the own funds threshold requirement (OFTR), the liquid asset threshold requirement (LATR), stress and reverse stress testing, and wind-down planning.
Compliance impact
The guidance does not itself create a new Handbook rule, but it gives the FCA a detailed benchmark for assessing whether firms have complied with COREPRU 7 and maintained adequate own funds and liquid assets. Following SREP, the FCA may require additional resources, governance changes, improvement plans, activity restrictions, additional reporting, a skilled-person review under FSMA 2000 section 166, or permission variation or cancellation under sections 55J and 55L where deficiencies are identified.

AI Analysis
The FCA has finalised FCA 2026/56, replacing the TCFD-aligned listed-company climate disclosure regime with UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS), the UK-endorsed version of the ISSB Standards. In-scope issuers must report against UK SRS 1 and UK SRS 2 on a comply-or-explain basis for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with first reporting expected in 2028.
Key dates
2026-09-30
FCA published PS26/19 and the final UK Listing Rules (Sustainability Reporting Standards Disclosure) Instrument 2026.
2026-10-28 Deadline
Deadline for responses to the FCA consultation on the proposed Technical Note supporting proportionate application of the comply-or-explain approach.
2027-01-01 Deadline
The final rules and UKLR TP 16 transitional provisions commence; they apply to accounting periods beginning on or after this date.
2028-01-01
First reporting year expected for issuers whose accounting periods begin on or after 1 January 2027, subject to the applicable accounting year-end and transitional reliefs.
2029-01-01 Deadline
For accounting periods beginning on or after this date, the Scope 3 and wider S1 climate-first transitional reliefs have expired and the full UK SRS comply-or-explain framework applies.
Suggested considerations
Listed issuers should map their listing category to the applicable rules in UKLR 6.6, 14.3, 15.3, 16.3 or 22.2 and confirm whether any investment entity, shell-company or other exclusion applies.
Compliance and reporting teams should perform a gap assessment against UK SRS S1 and UK SRS S2, including governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets, greenhouse-gas emissions and material sustainability-related risks and opportunities.
Issuers should establish a documented comply-or-explain process capable of identifying each omitted or partial disclosure, the reason for the omission and the remediation steps planned.
Finance and sustainability teams should plan for the one-year Scope 3 relief and the two-year S1 climate-first relief, including the required statement that the relevant UKLR and UK SRS transitional provisions are being used.
Issuers should assess whether UK SRS disclosures can be incorporated by cross-reference under UK SRS S1 Appendix B paragraphs B45 to B47 and ensure referenced documents are accessible and consistently controlled.
Governance teams should decide whether third-party assurance will be obtained and prepare the required assurance-provider, scope, level, standards and accessibility disclosures where assurance is used.
Issuers should document their position on climate-related transition plans and prepare the required location statement or explanation for non-publication.
Reporting teams should plan comparative information: no comparative information is required for the first period in which full or partial UK SRS disclosures are made, but comparatives are required from the immediately following accounting period.
What changed
The rules amend the FCA Handbook, including UKLR 6.6, 14.3, 15.3, 16.3 and 22.2, and ESG 2.2.6R. They require in-scope issuers to include UK SRS S2 climate-related disclosures and UK SRS S1 sustainability-related disclosures in their annual financial reports, or provide specified explanations where disclosures are absent or incomplete. Those explanations must identify the requirements or risks and opportunities not covered, explain why, and describe steps being taken or planned to enable future disclosure.
Compliance impact
This is a high-impact final rule for UK-listed issuers because it creates binding annual-report disclosure obligations across climate and wider sustainability matters, while replacing the existing TCFD framework. Although the comply-or-explain model provides flexibility, inadequate explanations, weak controls or unsupported sustainability data may impair investor decision-usefulness, comparability and market confidence and may attract FCA supervisory attention.

This review highlights key trends in money mule activity.
AI Analysis
The FCA published a multi-firm review on 23 September 2026 showing that firms closed 238,396 suspected money-mule accounts in 2025, compared with 184,935 in 2023, while criminal proceeds were commonly cashed out after passing through the second to fifth mule accounts. The publication is guidance rather than a new binding rule, but it signals supervisory expectations that firms improve early-chain detection, investigate linked accounts and cash-out patterns, and use lawful information-sharing to disrupt organised networks.
Key dates
2023-01-01
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 received Royal Assent during 2023; its voluntary information-sharing provisions are identified by the FCA as a potential mechanism for firms to share information concerning economic crime. The specific commencement date for any relevant provision should be verified against the applicable commencement instruments.
2025-01-01
Cifas introduced a dedicated funds received for money muling filing category and revised filing criteria and guidance, making 2025 filing data not directly comparable with 2023 and 2024. The date is stated as January 2025 rather than a specific day.
2026-09-23
The FCA published its multi-firm review on money-mule activity and cashing out findings.
Suggested considerations
Firms should consider refreshing their business-wide and customer-risk assessments to reflect mule-chain activity, including the concentration of cashing out between the second and fifth accounts and the higher concentration at the second account.
Compliance and fraud teams may wish to test whether transaction-monitoring scenarios identify linked accounts, repeated use of accounts across fraud types, rapid onward transfers, fragmented card spending, international destinations and higher-value crypto-related cash-outs.
Firms should consider reviewing controls across the full payment chain rather than focusing only on the first account receiving suspected fraud proceeds, including internal account link analysis and escalation between fraud, AML and investigations teams.
Banks, payment institutions and EMIs may wish to compare detection and response performance by account tenure, customer type and channel, noting that 74.1% of EMI closures and 56.9% of PI closures in the survey occurred within six months of account opening.
Firms should consider assessing whether their use of the National Fraud Database is effective and whether suspected cases meet the applicable Cifas evidential and category criteria; the FCA data should not be interpreted as requiring Cifas filings to equal account closures.
Firms should consider whether the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 information-sharing provisions can lawfully support prevention, detection or investigation of linked mule activity, with appropriate governance, records and data-protection controls.
MLROs and nominated officers may wish to prepare for the further FCA and National Economic Crime Centre alert and retain evidence showing how the review findings were considered and, where appropriate, incorporated into control enhancements.
What changed
The FCA has provided new supervisory findings on the scale, profile and mechanics of money-mule activity based on a survey of 35 firms and analysis by a 22-firm public-private cell covering 140 cases across seven fraud types. It expects firms to use the findings in their own money-mule risk assessments and to review and strengthen controls for detecting, preventing and disrupting mule activity.
Compliance impact
The FCA describes an evolving, organised financial-crime threat involving repeat mule accounts, early-chain cash-out and payment methods that can resemble legitimate consumer spending. Although the review is non-binding guidance, supervisory follow-up and a forthcoming FCA and National Economic Crime Centre alert mean that weak risk assessment, transaction monitoring, investigation, information-sharing or governance could attract supervisory scrutiny and potentially contribute to enforcement exposure under the FCA Principles, SYSC requirements and the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and...

AI Analysis
The FCA published FS26/2 on 17 September 2026 following its review of whether FCA regulation restricts SME access to finance. It found no evidence that FCA regulation is a major barrier, but identified practical frictions involving duplicated customer checks, Consumer Credit Act compliance costs, application complexity, alternative-lending incentives and personal guarantees. The statement does not create new binding obligations; its significance lies in signalling forthcoming work on Consumer Credit Act reform, digital verification and open finance, with SME lending prioritised as an open-finance use case.
Key dates

The FCA published Feedback Statement FS26/2: Supporting SME access to finance.
Suggested considerations
Compliance teams may wish to record that FS26/2 is a feedback statement rather than a rule change and does not itself require immediate changes to policies, systems or customer communications.
Consumer-credit lenders may wish to map products involving sole traders and small partnerships against the £25,000 scope threshold and monitor HMT and FCA consultations on the reformed Consumer Credit Act framework.
Lenders may wish to review repeated customer-information requests, broker-to-lender information flows, declined-application explanations and referral or signposting arrangements to identify avoidable SME application friction.
Banks, building societies, lenders and brokers may wish to monitor the development of the voluntary UK Finance digital-verification service and assess whether proposed reliance models preserve customer due diligence, anti-money-laundering and other financial-crime obligations.
Lenders and brokers may wish to review commission arrangements, product governance and disclosures where remuneration could influence referrals of micro-SMEs to high-cost or short-term alternative lending, even where the relevant lending or broker activity is outside the FCA perimeter.
Accredited Growth Guarantee Scheme lenders may wish to monitor the mandatory code of conduct on personal guarantees and prepare to evidence clear communications and fair and transparent use of guarantees once applicable.
Open-finance, data and lending businesses may wish to monitor the FCA discussion paper planned for early 2027 and the Government’s planned 2027 consultation, particularly on consent, data access, interoperability, customer authentication and financial-crime controls.
Firms serving asset-light, newer, regional or underserved SMEs may wish to assess whether underwriting data, product design and application processes adequately address limited trading histories, intangible assets and restricted collateral.
What changed
FS26/2 introduces no new rules, reporting requirements, permissions or implementation deadlines. The FCA will monitor industry work on voluntary digital verification to reduce duplicated customer checks while preserving effective financial-crime controls and firms’ existing legal and regulatory obligations. It will support a more proportionate consumer-credit regime as part of Consumer Credit Act reform, including future consultation on FCA Handbook rules replacing or recasting certain statutory requirements.
Compliance impact
Immediate compliance impact is low because FS26/2 creates no binding obligations or new deadlines. The medium-term impact may be material for banks, consumer-credit lenders, brokers and data providers because future Consumer Credit Act reforms, digital-verification arrangements and open-finance rules could alter customer-check processes, information requirements, product governance and SME-lending operating models; existing financial-crime controls and retained Consumer Credit Act protections continue to apply.

Read our findings on good practice and areas for improvement in payments firms’ approaches to supporting consumers in vulnerable circumstances. ... The Consumer Duty (the Duty) sets a high standard for retail consumer protection. We reviewed a sample of payments firms to assess how they are supporting consumers in…
AI Analysis
On 17 September 2026, the FCA published findings from a review of payments and e-money firms’ support for consumers in vulnerable circumstances under the Consumer Duty. The publication introduces no new rules, but it establishes a clear supervisory benchmark: firms should be able to evidence that they understand relevant vulnerability characteristics, provide consistent and tailored support, monitor outcomes and improve deficiencies; independent commentary reads this as an evidence-focused supervisory signal rather than optional good practice.
Key dates
2026-09-17
The FCA published its findings on payments firms delivering good outcomes for consumers in vulnerable circumstances.
Suggested considerations
Compliance teams may wish to map the four vulnerability drivers in FG21/1 against the firm’s customer base, products, channels and transaction journeys, including digital-only and automated interactions.
Firms should consider testing whether vulnerability identification, recording, flagging and information-sharing operate consistently in practice through call listening, complaints analysis, quality assurance, customer research and sample-based file reviews.
Firms may wish to document how identified needs translate into specific support, such as alternative channels, assisted onboarding, additional time, accessible communications, language support or human intervention, and how those interventions produce good outcomes.
Management information may need to cover the prevalence and characteristics of vulnerability, support provided, customer outcomes, complaints, failed or delayed payments, access barriers, vulnerable-customer journey performance and trends over time; smaller firms may use proportionate qualitative evidence but should still demonstrate effective oversight.
Boards and senior management may wish to receive sufficiently frequent reporting to challenge whether arrangements are working, investigate root causes and track whether remedial actions improve outcomes rather than relying solely on annual Consumer Duty reporting or isolated case studies.
Firms using intermediaries should consider how they assess the intermediary’s identification, training, support, communications, recording and outcomes-monitoring arrangements, and how issues are escalated and remediated.
When collecting or sharing vulnerability information, firms should consider compliance with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and applicable confidentiality and data-minimisation requirements.
Smaller firms may wish to record why their systems, controls and management information are proportionate to their business model, customer base and potential harm, while retaining evidence that individual circumstances can be addressed flexibly.
What changed
No new binding requirements or prescribed operating model were introduced. The FCA has nevertheless clarified the evidence it expects firms to maintain under the existing Consumer Duty and its vulnerable-customer guidance, including an understanding of the four vulnerability drivers—health, life events, financial resilience and financial capability—identification and recording across customer journeys, appropriate support and communications, outcome-focused management information, senior-management or board oversight, testing and assurance, intermediary oversight, and continuous improvement.
Compliance impact
The immediate legal impact is limited because the publication expressly does not create new requirements, but supervisory impact is material: firms may be expected to evidence that Consumer Duty arrangements deliver outcomes in practice, not merely that policies and training exist. Weak identification, inconsistent support, inadequate monitoring or poor intermediary oversight could contribute to foreseeable consumer harm, supervisory intervention and potential remediation or enforcement under existing FCA obligations.

The FCA published final perimeter guidance on 16 September 2026 explaining when cryptoasset activities will require UK authorisation under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Cryptoassets) Regulations 2026. From 25 October 2027, activities including cryptoasset safeguarding, trading-platform operation, dealing, arranging deals and arranging staking will generally require authorisation, while existing Money Laundering Regulations registrations and permissions will not convert automatically.

The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Cryptoassets) Regulations 2026 introduce the new regulated cryptoasset activities into the FCA perimeter.
Suggested considerations
Firms should map each current and planned cryptoasset service against the PERG 18 regulated-activity analysis, including whether the activity is conducted in the UK and by way of business.
Firms registered under the Money Laundering Regulations should assess separately whether FCA authorisation or a variation of permission is required, because existing registration does not convert automatically into authorisation.
Existing FCA-authorised firms should review their permissions and consider whether a variation of permission will be needed for cryptoasset activities.
Firms intending to rely on transitional or savings arrangements should assess eligibility and submit an application within the 30 September 2026 to 28 February 2027 application window.
Compliance teams may wish to inventory custodial wallets, trading venues, brokerage and arranging models, staking services, stablecoin issuance, lending products, market-making and technology or infrastructure services.
Firms should review UK territoriality, customer location, solicitation, marketing and operating-model assumptions, particularly for overseas businesses serving UK consumers.
Firms should monitor the FCA's further consultation on amendments to the perimeter guidance and reassess their analysis when the underlying regulations and final amended guidance change.
Applicants should prepare governance, business-model, financial, operational, safeguarding, systems and controls material expected for authorisation and may wish to obtain independent legal and compliance advice.
What changed
The FCA has finalised new PERG 18 guidance on determining whether a cryptoasset activity is regulated, whether it is carried on in the UK, whether it is carried on by way of business, and whether an exemption or transitional provision applies. The perimeter covers activities such as issuing qualifying stablecoins, operating cryptoasset trading platforms, dealing in or arranging deals in cryptoassets, safeguarding cryptoassets and arranging cryptoasset staking.
Compliance impact
This is a high-impact perimeter development because firms conducting covered cryptoasset activities by way of business in the UK may need new FCA authorisation or a variation of permission, and existing MLR registration will not be sufficient. Operating without the required permission after 25 October 2027 could constitute unauthorised activity, while failure to apply within the transitional window may remove access to relevant savings or transitional protections.

AI Analysis
On 14 September 2026, the FCA opened a Call for Input on whether tokenised gold could improve the trading, transfer, pledging and custody of gold in UK wholesale markets. The FCA is seeking evidence on use cases, operational and market risks, interoperability and the uncertainty over whether particular structures fall within the collective investment scheme (CIS) or alternative investment fund (AIF) perimeter; responses are due by 23 October 2026.
Key dates
2026-09-14
FCA published the Call for Input on tokenised gold.
2026-10-23 Deadline
Deadline for stakeholders to submit responses to the FCA.
Suggested considerations
Firms developing or considering tokenised gold may wish to assess whether their proposed token, contractual rights and underlying custody arrangements could constitute a CIS, an AIF, a financial instrument or another regulated product under FSMA 2000 and the Regulated Activities Order.
Potential issuers and platform operators should consider documenting the legal relationship between the token holder, the bullion custodian and the physical gold, including allocation, segregation, redemption, transfer, lien, insolvency and loss arrangements.
Wholesale market participants may wish to evaluate specific collateral use cases in securities lending, repo and derivatives, including eligibility, valuation, margining, haircut, settlement finality, enforcement and treatment following a platform or custodian failure.
Firms should consider whether their governance, outsourcing, operational-resilience, cyber-security, private-key management, ledger-access and business-continuity controls are appropriate for tokenised ownership records and programmable transfers.
Asset managers and product sponsors may wish to review whether existing disclosures, fund constitutional documents, custody arrangements, valuation policies and investor protections adequately address tokenised gold.
Industry participants may wish to submit evidence to the FCA by 23 October 2026, addressing practical use cases, barriers, risks, interoperability standards and the effect of CIS and AIF perimeter uncertainty.
Compliance teams may wish to monitor subsequent FCA policy development, including possible guidance or a bespoke regime, rather than treating the Call for Input as confirmation that any particular tokenised-gold structure is currently permitted or outside regulation.
What changed
No binding rule, authorisation requirement or supervisory obligation has been introduced. The FCA has begun an evidence-gathering exercise that may inform future guidance or a bespoke regime for tokenised gold. The regulator is examining whether digital tokens representing ownership of physical gold can support wholesale collateral, including potential use in securities lending, repo and derivatives transactions, while preserving market integrity, consumer protection and the existing strengths of London's gold-market infrastructure.
Compliance impact
The immediate compliance impact is limited because the publication is non-binding and does not change the regulatory perimeter. Its significance is nevertheless material for firms pursuing tokenised-gold products or collateral, because the FCA is signalling that classification under the CIS and AIF regimes, custody and title integrity, operational resilience, market infrastructure and investor protection will be central to future regulatory treatment.
