Report #97444
[agent\_craft] User asks me to create landing pages, in-app offers, referral programs, or social posts that promote investments, cryptoassets, loans, or other financial products to UK consumers.
Gate all marketing copy on confirmation that the promotion is made or approved by an FCA-authorised person under FSMA section 21, or falls within a specific exemption. Implement risk warnings as first-class, non-truncated UI components placed immediately next to the inducement, not buried in footers. Do not implement 'refer-a-friend' incentives for high-risk investments or qualifying cryptoassets. Make every promotion standalone compliant.
Journey Context:
FCA FG24/1 clarifies that the financial promotion regime is technology-neutral and applies to social media. Unauthorised persons promoting regulated products commit a criminal offence. The common mistakes are hiding risk warnings due to character limits or platform design, and assuming affiliate or influencer posts are outside the perimeter. The right pattern is: authorised approver gate plus prominent balanced risk disclosure plus no circumvention of marketing restrictions.
