The legal challenges to our motor finance scheme will be heard by The Upper Tribunal on 14-18 December 2026 or 16-26 February 2027. The Tribunal has also made an order suspending parts of the scheme on terms agreed by us with the 4 challengers. The partial suspension enables firms to keep preparing for the scheme and progress complaints as far as possible, while avoiding work that may need to be repeated if the challenges succeed. It also provides certainty for some consumers sooner, by requiring firms to tell complainants who are not owed compensation, subject to limited exceptions. If the scheme is upheld, and the judgment isn’t appealed, we expect payments under the scheme to begin in 2027. Lenders would have to follow the scheme rules, and we’d supervise them closely to make sure they do. fca.org.uk/news/statements/m… #CarFinance #MotorFinance #HelpingConsumers #FinancialServices

This is a significant moment for cryptoasset regulation in the UK. 📢 Firms supporting people to buy, trade and hold cryptoassets will need to meet clear standards under our new rules and get ready for when they come into effect in October 2027. Under our rules, cryptoasset firms will be held to similar standards to other financial providers, but consumers should understand what protections apply before investing. fca.org.uk/news/press-releas… #FCAGrowth #SmarterRegulator #Cryptoassets #FinancialRegulation

She reminded car finance customers that you don’t need to use a claims management company or law firm to claim compensation. If you have concerns about how you were signed up or the fee being charged, you can complain to the firm directly and if unhappy with their response go to the relevant Ombudsman. #CarFinance #MotorFinance

Football clubs should not put their fans’ cash at risk by signing sponsorship deals with financial firms that aren't allowed to operate in the UK. Millions of football fans trust their club’s badge.

We’ve written to football clubs to warn about their relationships with these firms and to remind them of their responsibilities to fans. fca.org.uk/news/press-releas… #FightingFinancialCrime #FinancialRegulation
