The Norway Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet) has published a warning about the website francejournal.info, which the French AMF added to its crypto-currency blacklist. Compliance teams should treat the domain as a high-risk, likely unauthorized or fraudulent crypto-related operation and update their screening and customer-protection controls accordingly.
A warning has been published on SwissWealthManagement Ltd, listed under the "boilerroom" category, which signals suspected high-pressure investment fraud targeting consumers. The source record contains inconsistencies, so compliance teams should confirm the originating authority before acting on it. Firms should screen for the entity and strengthen fraud and AML controls.
The FCA has published guidance explaining how the UK's new cryptoasset regime applies to firms and which activities may require authorization. With the authorization gateway opening on September 30, 2026 and the regime taking effect on October 25, 2027, compliance teams should use the guidance now to assess perimeter exposure and prepare applications. Further targeted changes are expected through an October consultation.
The ECB's September 2026 wage tracker update shows negotiated wage growth of 2.7% in Q1 2027 and 2.8% in Q2 2027, up modestly from 2.2% in 2026 (smoothed). This is a statistical release, not a regulatory mandate, but it informs the monetary policy outlook, interest rate expectations, and the wage and inflation assumptions used in financial institutions' risk models and stress tests. Employee coverage for 2027 is still low (32.5% in Q1 and 25.1% in Q2), so the forward-looking figures are likely to be revised.
The SEC approved FINRA's new Rule 3290 on September 15, 2026. It replaces Rules 3270 (Outside Business Activities) and 3280 (Private Securities Transactions) with a single consolidated rule and eliminates reporting of non-investment-related activities. The effective date has not been announced, so compliance teams should begin planning policy and procedure updates now.
The European Parliament has confirmed Thomas Gstädtner as Executive Director of the European Banking Authority (EBA) for a renewable five-year term. The appointment introduces no new regulatory requirements, but it marks a leadership transition that compliance teams should monitor for possible shifts in the EBA's operational priorities and supervisory engagement.
The Deutsche Bundesbank Executive Board held its hearing on September 16, 2026, on the nomination of Dr. Philipp Nimmermann and raised no objections. The outcome has been communicated to the Federal Council. This is a governance and personnel update with no direct regulatory obligations, but it is relevant for compliance teams that track German and Eurosystem supervisory leadership.
