<p>Information on the fines imposed on financial sector firms can be found on the
FCA’s website.</p><p> </p><p>Between financial years 2015/16 and 2018/19 the Financial
Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority have levied a total of 37
fines on banks and other financial sector firms. The total amount fined over this
four year period was one billion, three hundred and sixty seven million pounds.</p><p>
</p><p>Since 2015 money from these fines, minus enforcement costs, has been transferred
directly to the Government’s consolidated fund. Fine income entering the Consolidated
Fund is not earmarked for any specific purpose but is instead part of the Government’s
total revenues. Government revenues are used to pay for all Government spending on
public services.</p>
