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.

HMRC updates Air Passenger Duty payment guidance on wrong reference numbers

HMRC has refreshed its operational guidance on paying Air Passenger Duty. The headline change is a warning on payment reference discipline, alongside restated deadlines, payment channels and account details. It is administrative rather than a change to duty rates or liability, but it affects how airlines and occasional operators discharge their APD obligations and avoid penalties or interest.

  • Using an incorrect 15-character reference (starting with X) may delay a payment or apply it to another tax bill; payers can email APDHelpdesk@hmrc.gov.uk to move it.
  • Payment deadlines are extended by seven calendar days for Direct Debit, Faster Payments, CHAPS and Bacs; Occasional Operator Scheme users pay within seven days of the flight.
  • Payments over £20 million cannot be made by Direct Debit, and a return must be submitted even where there is nothing to pay.
  • Occasional Operator Scheme payers cannot use Direct Debit and must contact HMRC for a reference number.

FCA wins confiscation orders against two men convicted over £1.5m crypto fraud

The FCA has secured Proceeds of Crime Act confiscation orders against two men already jailed for a cold-calling cryptoasset investment scam. This item covers what each must repay, the enforcement timeline, and the mechanism by which victims recover losses — a reminder of how long the asset-recovery tail runs after conviction.

  • Southwark Crown Court ordered Bedi to pay £603,404.28 and Mavanga £247,997.99 on 28 September 2026.
  • At least 65 investors lost £1,541,799 in a scheme run via CCX Capital and Astaria Group LLP between February 2017 and June 2019.
  • Non-payment within three months exposes Bedi to up to five further years' imprisonment and Mavanga up to two.

Bank of England sets £40bn issuance cap for systemic stablecoins, drops holding limits

The Bank of England has published its policy statement and draft Code of Practice for systemic sterling stablecoin issuers, revising two central proposals from its 2025 consultation. It swaps per-holder limits for a per-coin issuance guardrail and loosens backing-asset rules. This segment covers what changed, the timeline to finalisation, and how the regime splits from the FCA's.

  • Maximum backing held in interest-bearing short-term UK government debt rises from 60% to 70%, with the remainder in central bank deposits.
  • Consulted per-holder holding limits are dropped; a temporary per-coin issuance guardrail applies, initially set at £40 billion and reviewed regularly.
  • Feedback closes 22 September 2026; the Bank intends to finalise the Code by end-2026, allowing regulated stablecoins to operate from 2027.

UK names six Joint Lead Managers for digital gilt pilot, targets Q1 2027 issuance

The Economic Secretary used UK Digital Assets Week to set out where the government's digital-finance programme has actually moved from design to delivery. The headline is the appointment of six Joint Lead Managers for the DIGIT pilot and a first-quarter 2027 issuance date, alongside live Sandbox approvals and the cryptoasset authorisation clock now running. Useful for mapping sequencing across gilts, stablecoins and the FCA perimeter.

  • Six firms appointed as Joint Lead Managers for the DIGIT pilot issuance, targeted for Q1 2027 on HSBC's Orion platform and listed on LSEG's main market.
  • HSBC and ClearToken have each received approval to operate a live Digital Securities Depository in the Digital Securities Sandbox; Treasury will lay supporting secondary legislation.
  • Cryptoasset activities enter the FCA regulatory perimeter from 25 October 2027; the transitional-arrangements application window opened 30 September.

  • The survey aims to improve understanding of the AI security market and the services these companies provide.
  • It is run by the Cyber Security and Digital Identity Directorate, previously part of the former DSIT, which originally commissioned it.
