The FPSB, the global standards setting body for Certified Financial Planners, has urged regulators to get tougher on social media ‘finfluencers’ who promote financial products or give financial tips, often via YouTube or social media.

Noel Maye, CEO of the Denver-based Financial Planning Standards Board, is standing down after 20 years at the helm of the global Financial Planning standards organisation which sets the benchmarks for Certified Financial Planners around the world. Financial Planning Today caught up with him to ask him about his milestones, the progress of Financial Planning in the UK and his plans for the future.

Noel Maye, the founder CEO of the global Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB), is to step down from the body at the end of the year.

The pandemic has failed to dent the global growth of Certified Financial Planner professionals worldwide although UK numbers remain static.
