Letter from the FCA to the Treasury Select Committee detailing FCA powers and regulatory perimeter (30 January 2018)

The FCA regulates authorised firms under the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA) 2000, overseeing conduct and prudential standards. It authorises firms, supervises compliance, investigates breaches, and enforces rules via fines, bans, and public censure. The FCA’s remit focuses on “regulated activities,” but it also monitors firms’ overall behaviour, including some unregulated actions linked to regulated firms. It holds senior managers accountable under the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR). The FCA aims to protect consumers, uphold market integrity, and promote competition, balancing its powers with statutory limits set by Parliament and Government.

HM Parliament Condemns RBS GRG’s Parasitic Treatment of SMEs

UK Parliament unanimously condemned RBS’s Global Restructuring Group (GRG) for its systemic mistreatment of SMEs, describing it as a parasitic unit engaged in asset stripping and aggressive litigation tactics. MPs highlighted GRG’s role in artificially distressing viable businesses, undervaluing assets, and employing harsh recovery strategies during 2008-2013, leading to widespread financial harm. The FCA’s delayed and redacted report faced heavy criticism, with calls for transparent accountability, a Financial Services Tribunal, whistleblower protections, and full release of investigations.

RBS’ GRG ‘Just Hit Budget’ Memo: ‘let customers hang themselves’

The leaked 2009 internal memo from RBS’s Global Restructuring Group (GRG), titled “Just Hit Budget!”, reveals aggressive tactics aimed at extracting maximum profit from struggling SME customers. The memo outlines a systematic approach to pressure businesses, including leveraging fees, forcing deal signings, and deliberately letting customers fail – referred to chillingly as “let customers hang themselves.” This memo exemplifies the toxic culture within GRG that led to severe financial distress for many SMEs.

The Times: Lawyers launch petition for financial mis-selling tribunal

LEXLAW has launched an online petition urging the government to establish a Financial Services Tribunal to resolve disputes over financial product mis-selling.

The tribunal would provide fairness, judicial scrutiny, and deter misconduct by major banks and financial institutions. The campaign follows parliamentary support for a commercial financial dispute resolution platform and aims to give customers better protection and access to justice
