Verify Every Financial Promotion with Complete Confidence
Control and verify every financial promotion with a single workflow that captures approvals, versions, and evidence - giving your firm clarity, confidence, and audit-ready oversight.
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.
Approval bottlenecks
compliance teams overwhelmed by volume, with no structured workflow to prioritise and track approvals

Archival gaps
promotions scattered across email, shared drives, and marketing platforms with no centralised, searchable archive

Version control risks
approved versions overwritten or modified after sign-off without detection

Regulatory exposure
inability to quickly demonstrate to the regulator what was approved, by whom, and when

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:
Full Review
Every promotion reviewed and approved by a compliance officer before publication. The standard approach for new product launches or complex investment promotions.

Exception-based
