FCA: Financial promotions quarterly data - Q1 2021

The FCA undertakes many reviews of firms’ financial promotions, which are identified through multiple sources including both consumer and firm referrals. The FCA looks at every financial advert reported to it. Where it concludes that an advert is in breach of its rules, it asks the firm which has communicated or approved it to withdraw the advert, or change it so that it complies with the FCA requirements. It may also ask firms to consider whether any customers may have acted on the basis of non-compliant promotions and to take appropriate action to remedy any harm which consumers may have suffered as a result.

The FCA realises the need for greater transparency over the non-compliant financial promotions outcomes, so from 2021 it started publishing this data quarterly.

This data includes statistics about how the FCA reviews and acts on certain non-compliant financial promotions.

英国金融市场行为监管局（FCA）对众多公司的财务推广活动进行了广泛的审查，这些活动通过包括消费者和公司推荐在内的多种渠道被识别。FCA对提交给其的所有财务广告进行审查。若其认为某广告违反了相关规定，将要求发布或批准该广告的公司撤回该广告，或进行修改以确保符合FCA的要求。此外，FCA还可能要求公司考虑是否有客户基于不符合规定的推广行为采取了行动，并采取适当的措施以修复消费者可能因此遭受的损害。鉴于对违规财务推广结果透明度提升的需求，自2021年起，FCA开始按季度发布此类数据。该数据涵盖了FCA如何审查和应对特定违规财务推广活动的统计数据。
