Credit Broker Loses FCA Authorization For SMCR Failings
Law360, London (December 22, 2020, 12:51 PM GMT) The Financial Conduct Authority said Tuesday that it has canceled a credit broker s authorization to offer financial products to consumers after the company failed to appoint a senior manager to ensure that it is following the regulator s rules.
The City watchdog said that it has removed permission to carry out regulated activities from G&M Supplies (Cumbria) Ltd. because it has not appointed a fit and proper person, a requirement of the Senior Manager and Certification Regime, which was broadened a year ago.
The regime holds the top managers at finance companies liable for a fine or ban if their employees commit.
