The Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority has entered into a settlement agreement with Experts Credit Solutions Consultancy LLC to conclude an investigation into unauthorised arranging of credit facilities. The regulator found that the firm arranged credit facilities without authorisation between January 2023 and October 2024, an activity that requires QFCRA authorisation. Under the settlement, the QFCRA imposed a reduced financial penalty of QAR 145,800 (USD 40,000) and required payment of QAR 36,450 (USD 10,000) toward investigation costs and expenses. The penalty reduction reflected the firm’s early engagement, cooperation during the investigation, and remedial measures implemented to address the issues identified, and the settlement resolves the matter to the QFCRA’s satisfaction.
