UK's Financial Services Authority - PS10/17: Taping Of Mobile Phones - Feedback On CP10/7 And Final Rules

This Policy Statement reports on the main issues arising from Consultation Paper 10/7: Taping: Removing the mobile phone exemption and publishes final rules.

The FSA is extending the taping rules so firms record and keep copies of all relevant conversations made on mobile phones provided to individuals by firms for a period of six months. To support this, the FSA has introduced a new rule requiring firms to take ‘reasonable steps’ to ensure such conversations do not take place on private communication equipment, as a firm cannot record these for privacy reasons.
