CASS 15 is the FCA's new safeguarding regulation, which looks to bring expectations more in line with investment firms. The ultimate goal of CASS 15 is to protect consumer funds, and looks to address several instances where regulated firms have been able to pay out 100% of consumer funds due to significant shortfalls.
Yes - as a UK-based reconciliation and reporting specialist, we're well-placed to support regulated businesses with their safeguarding obligations, including the CASS 15 regulations outlined in the FCA's PS25/12 policy statement. We will be closely monitoring further developments from the FCA to ensure our solution is kept in line with requirements.
The deadline for implementation is 7th May 2026, so contact the Equali team as soon as possible to help you get compliant with time to spare!
CASS 15 comes into effect on 7th May 2026. The first monthly safeguarding return is due July 2026 for the month of June 2026.
We are directly connected via API to a number of payment providers, accounting systems and ERPs, and can pull data from these sources in real-time.
For bank statements, ledgers or complex data, we can accept CAMT.052/CAMT.053 statements or other csv/Excel file formats. We can also integrate with custom APIs if required.
Got a bespoke format? We also support file upload directly to the dashboard, as well as SFTP file transfer. Contact the Equali team and we can help you get started.
Depending on the complexity of your business, setup could take as a little as a few days, or a few weeks. Regardless of your complexity, we'll handhold you throughout the onboarding process to ensure your questions are answered and needs are met, both during regular onboarding calls and with the creation of Slack/Microsoft Teams channels dedicated to your setup.
Get started today to ensure you're ready in time for the FCA's 7th May 2026 deadline.
As part of CASS 15, regulated firms are required to submit a monthly safeguarding return to the FCA. Specific format requirements are outlined in PS25/12. Requirements are similar to "CMAR" (Client Money & Assets Return) reports for those familiar.
Pricing for our CASS 15 solution is determined by the complexity and size of your requirements. Schedule a call with our team to find out more.
