Credit Suisse UK private bank fined £5.95m

The Financial Services Authority, the UK regulator, says the Swiss bank mis-sold certain structured products to customers

The Financial Services Authority, the UK regulator, has fined Credit Suisse in the UK £5.95 million for failings relating to the sale of certain structured products.

The investments, known as capital-at-risk structured products, or Scarps, set out to provide a pre-determined income to customers but exposed them to the risk that they could lose all or part of their capital in the event of markets falling below a certain point.
