FCA and ICO set out thoughts on Open Finance and Smart Data
The Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum has published the joint views of the FCA and the ICO on the technologies that are shaping Open Finance and the regulatory questions stemming from its development. APIs are likely to remain key to Open Finance and Smart Data as they facilitate real time, secure and trusted data exchange. So common standards and strong interoperability across sectors and providers will be essential. Another key driver could be AI which has the potential to carry out many key chores including automating data cleaning and preparation, enhance fraud detection, assess creditworthiness, deliver advice and recommendations and help consumers to open accounts and switch products.� However, with that comes risks, not least addressing questions around automated decision-making, transparency and explainability.
There is also the potential for DLT and smart contracts to play a role, which could, for example, automate administrative tasks, improve data integrity and security and track the flow of data for easier auditing. But, again, there are risks, such as it being potentially difficult to revoke access to or correct data, and it may be unclear who is responsible if things go wrong.
More generally, the key regulatory issues are:
balancing evolution of technology with fostering trust in new products and services and delivering good outcomes for consumers;
organisations ensuring they consider which lawful basis for processing data is most appropriate to enable the required data sharing;
what effective data minimisation would look like;
achieving transparency and consumer understanding when AI is used;
the role of regulators; and
embedding trust.

FCA confirms cuts in costs of capital raising
The FCA has confirmed its proposals to make it cheaper for companies to raise money. The confirmed changes include:
in most cases, companies will not have to publish a prospectus when raising further capital (the threshold is raised to 75% of existing share capital, from the current 20%);
IPOs that include the wider public can come to market 3 days after the prospectus is published (currently 6 days);
a single disclosure standard for corporate bond prospectuses; and
new platforms for public offers run by authorised firms to make it easier for companies to make offers of shares or bonds above �5m without a lengthy prospectus – essentially crowdfunding platforms but for larger deals.
Generally the changes will take effect on 19 January 2026.

Government announces “Leeds reforms”
After the Edinburgh reforms, we now have the Leeds reforms! The Government has announced an ambitious package of measures to attract inward investment into the UK and financial services businesses. Rachel Reeves announced the UK’s first Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness sector plan. The plans include:
giving consumers support to invest;
create good skilled jobs;
encouraging banks to offer investment opportunities to people with cash in low-interest accounts;
encouraging the industry to highlight to consumers the opportunity to invest when they can – the Government says that, based on current trends, if consumers move �2,000 from low interest accounts into stocks and shares, they could be over �9,000 better off in 20 years’ time;
the BoE will allow more lending at over 4.5 times a buyer’s income and simplified FCA Rules, if adopted, will make remortgaging easier. The changes will also allow the Nationwide to make its “Helping Hands” scheme available to lower income borrowers – now the thresholds are �30,000 for solo and �50,000 for joint applicants (�5,000 lower than previously);
there will be a new government-backed Mortgage Guarantee Scheme to ensure high loan-to-value mortgages are available in times of economic uncertainty;
FOS will need to align its decisions more closely with FCA rules;
the SMCR will be radically streamlined;
the FCA is to review how the Consumer Duty affects and applies to wholesale firms;
the MREL threshold will be raised to �25-49bn;
the Basel 3.1 rules will come in from January 2027;
reform of the ring-fencing regime;
a major FPC review of bank capital requirements;
providing bespoke support to fintechs;
greater financial capacity for the British Business Bank; and
progressing the Berne Financial Services Agreement, so that it is fully implemented by the end of the year.
See our separate posts on some of these initiatives!

FCA and Treasury consult on ancillary activities exemption
HM Treasury is consulting on changes to the current UK secondary legislation setting the tests that firms must meet to use the “ancillary activities” exemption when they trade in commodity derivatives and emissions allowances.� As part of the Wholesale Markets Review, it said it would replace the current test with a new, simpler, version. It is now legislating to give the FCA powers to put in place a replacement test. The Order would amend the RAO and other statutory instruments in respect of the definition of “investment firm” and will provide that firms can use the exemption where the relevant business is ancillary to its main business, or is below an annual threshold that the FCA will set.
The FCA is in turn consulting on its proposals to set out, simply, how firms can work out whether they can benefit from the exemption. It proposes 3 separate and independent tests, and a firm will be able to use the exemption if it meets any one of them. It hopes the proposals will have the advantage of simplicity while having minimal impact on costs for firms, given the methods they already use to calculate the application of the exemption under the current regime.
Comments on both the draft legislation and the FCA consultation are due by 28 August. The changes will take effect from 1 January 2027.

The FCA has made the final rules that will allow the new PISCES system to start operating through a sandbox. The sandbox is open from 10 June, and shares are likely to start being traded later this year, with the FCA looking to move to a permanent regime by 2030.
As a reminder, institutional investors, HNWIs, sophisticated investors and employees of participating companies will� have access to PISCES, and the legislative framework, confirmed by HM Treasury in May, will require that they receive information on the risks involved in making investments.
The FCA has now published its policy and guidance for firms wanting to run a PISCES platform.� Its new rules will include obligations on operators for disclosure arrangements, organising and running trading events and market manipulation and oversight, and are in a new sourcebook, the Pisces Sourcebook (PS). The sourcebook also sets out the process for application, and how the FCA will decide on applications.
