Consultation on further proposals for firms operating public offer platforms

The document proposes amendments to the Handbook to implement the new public offer platform (POP) regime, including extending the Financial Ombudsman Service’s compulsory jurisdiction to POP operators and introducing specific fees and supervisory reporting requirements. It outlines the proposed approach for authorizing and supervising firms carrying on the regulated activity of operating a POP, alongside consequential amendments to the Perimeter Guidance manual. The consultation seeks comments on these measures by 14 March 2025, with final rules anticipated in summer 2025 and the regime coming into force in January 2026.
