Whistleblowing Support for the Financial Sector

From regulatory burden to reputational strength

In the UK’s tightly regulated financial services sector, strong whistleblowing practices are more than a requirement – they are your first line of defence. Protect helps firms like yours go beyond basic FCA and PRA compliance by building effective systems that uncover conduct risks, protect your market reputation, and foster a culture of transparency that strengthens stakeholder trust.

Achieve clear compliance and reduce regulatory risk by meeting and exceeding the FCA’s whistleblowing requirements, including SYSC 18 and those of the PRA. Protect your organisation from enforcement action, costly remediation, and damage to your regulatory reputation.

Proactively identify and manage financial and conduct risks by turning your whistleblowing system into a powerful early warning tool. Detect issues early, from market abuse to operational failings, and strengthen internal controls, governance, and overall organisational resilience.

Strengthen trust with investors and stakeholders by fostering transparent governance. Build a speak-up culture, led by senior leadership and your Whistleblowers’ Champion, where staff feel safe to raise concerns. This visible commitment to ethical conduct and strong governance reassures clients, investors, and regulators alike.
