From 15 July 2026 onwards, the banker’s oath will apply to some 30,000 bankers. This disciplinary regime makes bankers personally liable for their actions: they must act with integrity and professionalism and treat their clients honestly and fairly.
The banker’s oath has applied to certain categories of bankers since early 2025, and the regime will be extended to all targeted bankers this summer. The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) provides clarification on the further implementation of the banker’s oath and highlights a number of key obligations.
