PRA makes branch whistleblowing rules

PRA has made policy statements and rules requiring UK branches of non-EEA banks and insurers to tell their staff about the PRA and FCA’s whistleblowing services. Any non-EEA bank that has both a branch and a subsidiary in the UK must also tell its branch staff about the whistleblowing procedures the subsidiary has in place.

PRA had originally proposed to include UK branches of EEA insurers within the scope of the rules, but has decided not to do so following a cost-benefit analysis.
