Compliance is one of the necessary headaches for financial services businesses. Our excellent clients recognise the importance of compliance laws to ensure the safety of their own clients and industry standards. But that doesn’t stop compliance tasks from being time-consuming, such as ensuring the business website and all business materials are compliant with Financial Conduct Authority regulations.  

What happens if you don’t comply?

Not complying with rules and regulations set down by industry bodies like the Financial Conduct Authority can result in compensation being paid out and serious fines. The severity of punishment depends on the specifics of each compliance breach.

Is WEBPRO Adviser aware of compliance?

As a website design and marketing agency specialising in financial services, it is essential that we are fully aware of compliance rules and any planned changes to those rules. We have an in-depth understanding of compliance requirements when creating a website or written content for a financial service provider which has been built up over many years.

The lead at WEBPRO Adviser, Anton, has worked at some stellar financial institutes, and WEBPRO Adviser also boasts a strong working relationship with big financial services networks like Quilter and Tenet. These groups support financial advisers to remain compliant with their services, and they also support our team. We work very closely with the compliance departments of the financial services networks we work with to the benefit of all involved.

How we ensure compliance for our clients

When our website developers create a new site for a client, it is submitted to compliance for feedback. If something isn’t quite perfect, we make some changes, often working with the compliance officer directly until they are 100% satisfied.

Depending on the network, the submission of the website to compliance is done by our web developers, meaning our clients are free to focus on their business while we do what we do best. Where required, we even resubmit our websites to compliance annually to ensure they remain compliant in the event of any changes.

Access our compliant website content

WEBPRO Adviser provides exclusive access to over 80 pages of website copy written by a professional copywriter and which has been approved as complaint by many of the main financial services networks. This compliant web copy is available exclusively to our clients and it can save IFAs a lot of time and money.

Finance industry web design

Finance industry compliance is just one reason why finance businesses should only use relevant web designers rather than generic companies. WEBPRO Adviser commits to high levels of attention to compliance detail to ensure that our clients follow the most up-to-date rules.
