The complainant has requested information relating to guidelines for strong customer authorisation (SCA). The FCA provided some information but refused to disclose some of the requested information under 40(2), 43(2) and 44(1)(a) FOIA. It refused to comply with part 2 of the request under section 12 FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) and 44(1)(a) FOIA were applied correctly to the withheld information (section 43(2) FOIA was applied to the same information that the Commissioner found section 44(1)(a) FOIA to apply to and so section 43(2) was not considered any further). The FCA was also correct to refuse to comply with part of the request under section 12 FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
