Britain's financial regulator is investigating Barclays PLC for suspected failings in its compliance and anti-money laundering systems, the Financial Times reported on Friday.

The FCA wrote to the heads of Barclay's corporate banking and U.K. retail and wealth divisions requesting a "skilled persons review", or Section 166, the newspaper said. Section 166 usually involves hiring an independent firm that produces reports with recommendations for improvement. The FCA declined to comment, while Barclays did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.Barclays 8.4 million pounds for not giving retailers full information about payment card costs.
