• New FCA regulations present fresh opportunity for High Street banks to offer free investment advice – will 2026 see a change in saving habits?
New research shows that 55% of UK adults have turned to AI platforms at least sometimes over the past 12 months, investing on average £2,350 on the back of that advice.
However, AI platforms remain significantly less influential than banks' own websites, used by 81% of those surveyed, and MoneySavingExpert, used by 75%.
New regulations from the FCA, announced on 11th December, will allow banks to offer advice to customers on pensions and investment from April 2026. This will enable high street banks to better position themselves against digital-first alternatives like influencers and AI LLMs.

His Majesty The King today thanked families and friends for their “sacrifices and contributions” which underscore military success as he saluted 200 future leaders of the Royal Navy and its global allies.
Nearly 55 years after he himself passed out of the same famous institution to begin his naval career, The King celebrated the achievements of a new generation of cadets at Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth.
On parade for the historic Lord High Admiral’s Divisions, watched by friends and family, were more than 190 cadets who’d undergone the 29-week transformation from civilians to junior naval officers, as well as sailors promoted from the ranks, and international cadets who will go on to serve in the navies of the Bahamas, Kuwait, Malta, Oman, Qatar and UAE.
