PDCOB 1.1 Application

PDCOB 1.1.1G
  1. (1)

    1The Pensions Dashboards: Conduct of Business sourcebook (PDCOB) is the specialist sourcebook for firms carrying on regulated pensions dashboard activity.

  2. (2)

    PDCOB applies as described in the General Application provisions in PDCOB 1.3, unless modified in the manner described in the application provisions of a particular chapter, section or rule.

  3. (3)

    PERG 12A contains general guidance on when a firm will be carrying on regulated pensions dashboard activity. Where a firm enters an outsourcing arrangement with a third party, the third party will need to consider whether it is also carrying on regulated pensions dashboard activity taking into account the guidance in PERG 12A.

PDCOB 1.1.2G

1Firms are reminded that they may require permissions to carry on regulated activities other than regulated pensions dashboard activity, in which case firms will need to comply with the conduct requirements in the FCA Handbook that are relevant to those activities in the usual way.

PDCOB 1.1.3G

1Firms are also reminded that they may need to comply with other sourcebooks relating to conduct of business in the FCA Handbook (for example, COBS) where they also fall within the application provisions of those sourcebooks.
