PRA proposes 128 regulatory thresholds track nominal GDP automatically

The PRA has opened a consultation proposing that 128 thresholds across banking, insurance and credit unions rise automatically in line with nominal GDP, rather than through manual updates. This affects which rules apply to firms and what they must report, with the first change set for 2031.

  • The PRA proposes that 128 thresholds across banking, insurance and credit unions increase automatically with nominal GDP.
  • The largest in-scope threshold is £320 billion in total assets for detailed capital reporting; the smallest is £7,500 covering amounts owed to a credit union by an individual.
  • The first automatic update would take place on 1 July 2031, with further updates every five years thereafter.
  • The PRA selected nominal UK GDP, published by the Office for National Statistics, as the indexation metric over measures such as the Consumer Price Index or real GDP growth.
  • The consultation opens 7 October 2026 and closes 7 February 2027, with some thresholds excluded and instead addressed in a parallel discussion paper under Section 4 of CP13/26.

FCA chair calls for cross-border testing of cloud and AI risks to finance

In a lecture honouring the late Michael D. Gill, FCA Chair Ashley Alder argues that financial risk now travels across firms, sectors and borders faster than regulators built in silos can track. He sets out why the UK's Critical Third Parties Regime, supervisory intelligence-sharing and joint crisis exercises need to expand internationally. Relevant for firms watching how operational resilience obligations may extend beyond financial services.

  • The FCA, Bank of England and Prudential Regulation Authority's Critical Third Parties Regime currently covers major cloud computing providers, marking the first time UK financial regulators have extended reach outside the financial sector.
  • The FCA hosted a financial crime conference this year with more than 400 attendees from government, regulators, industry, professional bodies and tech firms.
  • The UK participated in a G7 cyber crisis simulation exercise earlier this year to test cross-border coordination during a major incident.
  • The Global Financial Innovation Network, which Alder says the FCA is leading on a quantum toolkit due next month, draws on insights from 25 members including US regulators.
  • The FCA is working with the Monetary Authority of Singapore to develop tools supporting safe, responsible AI adoption.

ePayments Systems enters special administration, FCA confirms

The FCA confirms e-money firm ePayments Systems Limited has entered special administration, a regime designed to prioritise returning customer funds quickly. This covers who is now responsible, what protections apply, and why FSCS compensation does not cover this case.

  • EPS entered special administration on 15 October 2026 under the Payment and Electronic Money Institution Insolvency Regulations 2021.
  • Mark Boast and Allister Manson of Opus Restructuring LLP were appointed joint special administrators.
  • The FSCS does not cover payment services, so EPS customers have no compensation scheme protection for these funds.
  • The special administrators will assess all funds held by the firm to confirm the current safeguarding position.
  • The FCA states EPS remains FCA-authorised and subject to its rules throughout the administration.

HMRC's latest ROPS list adds 25 schemes, removes 17, as EEA parity rule beds in

HMRC maintains a notification list of overseas pension schemes that have told it they meet the recognised overseas pension scheme (ROPS) conditions. The latest refresh added 25 schemes, removed 17 and amended one. For advisers handling overseas transfers, the operative detail is not the names but the disclaimer: presence on the list is a self-certification, not an HMRC warranty against UK tax.

  • The 15 October 2026 update added 25 schemes, removed 17 and amended one on the ROPS notification list.
  • HMRC updates the list on the 1st and 15th of each month, deferring to the next working day where that falls on a weekend or UK public holiday.
  • HMRC states it cannot guarantee entries are ROPS or that transfers will be free of UK tax, and will usually pursue UK tax charges and interest, plus penalties in appropriate cases, even where a scheme appears on the list.
  • From 6 April 2025, Overseas Pension Schemes and ROPS established in the EEA must meet the same conditions as schemes in the rest of the world.
  • HMRC may remove schemes at short notice while reviews are carried out, for example where fraudulent activity is suspected.

  • The consultation ran from 3 June to 3 July 2026 and received 478,531 responses, the most ever for a Bank of England banknote imagery consultation.
  • Respondents made 2,549,003 selections across an 18-animal shortlist spanning mammals, birds, and amphibians/insects/fish categories.
  • The barn owl received 270,596 nominations, the buff-tailed bumblebee 360,399, and the European hedgehog 259,665, the top vote-getters in their categories.
  • The Atlantic puffin, with 183,137 nominations, was chosen as the selected marine animal to add variety and distinguish denominations.
  • The decision on which animal appears on which denomination, and the first launch date, will be announced closer to production.

Bank of England runs SIMEX26 cloud-outage exercise with 38 systemic firms

  • The 38 largest and most systemically important banks and market infrastructure operators participated, with HM Treasury, the FCA and the wider sector.

FCA and PRA lift 15% cap on individual lenders' high-LTI mortgage lending

The FCA and PRA have jointly recalibrated how the FPC's loan-to-income flow limit is enforced. Individual mortgage lenders may now push their share of high-LTI lending above 15%, provided the market-wide flow stays consistent with that limit. This item covers who the new guidance binds, how the aggregate flow will be measured and published quarterly, and where the supervisory attention now falls.

  • Individual lenders may now exceed a 15% share of high-LTI lending, with the 15% limit instead applied to aggregate market flow.
  • FG26/11 replaces FG14/8 (2014), revised by FG17/2 (2017) and FG25/4 (July 2025); PRA amended its Rulebook and issued a new supervisory statement.
  • PRA and FCA will calculate aggregate high-LTI flow quarterly; PRA publishes the figure with completed mortgage volumes and share.
