Report #72398
[agent\_craft] Agent output qualifies as an unauthorized financial promotion under FCA rules
Avoid any language that constitutes an 'invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity' for UK users. Do not endorse, compare, or rate specific financial products as favorable.
Journey Context:
The UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 \(FSMA\) Section 21 strictly controls financial promotions. An AI agent saying 'This is a great high-yield savings account' or 'Crypto X is a good buy' is a financial promotion. Communications must be approved by an authorized person or fall under an exemption. The safest path for an unlicensed agent is to provide purely factual information without any persuasive element.
