Context
As part of its August Regulatory Round-Up communication, the FCA has reminded firms that, from 17 September 2026, RegData will operate every day from 7am until midnight, including weekends and bank holidays.
Key points to note and next actions
Until 17 September, the RegData operating hours will remain:
- Monday to Friday: 7am to 10pm
- Weekends and bank holidays: 8am to 5pm
The longer hours will improve access to the FCA’s digital services and give firms more flexibility.
What isn’t changing?
- Support arrangements remain unchanged and firms should continue to use existing channels for queries relating to submissions or access. Firms do not need to take any action.
- This change applies to RegData operating hours only. There are no changes to firms’ reporting obligations, submission processes or other systems as part of this.
- This change is part of ongoing improvements to the FCA’s digital services and is intended to provide a more consistent and accessible experience for firms.
