Financial Promotions

AI-powered compliance for financial promotions. Every financial promotion must be fair, clear, and not misleading — and firms must evidence the approval process, maintain archives, and respond to regulatory scrutiny. Ruleguard manages the full promotions lifecycle, from submission through approval to archival, with the speed your marketing team needs and the rigour your compliance team demands.

The Challenge

Financial promotions compliance shouldn't slow down your marketing

Regulators require that every financial promotion is approved by an authorised person, complies with specific rules for its product type, and is archived for future reference. With marketing teams producing content at pace across multiple channels, maintaining compliance without creating bottlenecks is a constant challenge. Most firms still manage this through email approvals, shared folders, and manual tracking.

The Solution

Structured approval workflows that move at the speed of marketing

Ruleguard replaces email-based approval chains with structured, automated workflows that give marketing speed and compliance control. Every promotion is submitted through a portal, routed to the right approver, tracked through review, and archived with its complete approval history. Version control is automatic and immutable.

Configurable approval workflows

Submissions are routed through multi-stage review and approval based on product type, channel, or risk level. Compliance teams see a prioritised queue instead of an overflowing inbox — and marketing gets faster turnaround without sacrificing rigour.

Centralised promotions register

Every promotion — draft, in review, approved, and archived — in one searchable register with full status tracking. Expiry dates are monitored automatically, and compliance is alerted when approved materials approach their validity window.

Immutable version control

Every version of every promotion is preserved with a complete change history. If a promotion is modified after approval, the platform detects and flags it — eliminating the risk of unapproved content reaching the market.

Instant regulatory evidence

The full approval history for any promotion — who submitted, who reviewed, who approved, what the approved version looked like — is compiled on demand. When the regulator asks questions, the evidence is ready in seconds, not hours.
Governance

Human-in-the-loop governance

Promotion approval is fundamentally about compliance judgement — is this fair, clear, and not misleading? Ruleguard automates the workflow around that judgement:
