The headquarters building of Britain's Barclays Bank is seen in London Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2011. Britain's financial regulator has fined Barclays Bank 7.7 million pounds ($12.3 million) for giving poor advice to investors in two funds. The Financial Services Authority said Tuesday it had also secured nearly 60 million pounds in redress for those customers. The agency said the bank's failures included not insuring that the funds were suitable for the clients, giving inadequate training to staff, failing to make sure that brochures and other documents were clear and complete, and lax monitoring of sale processes. The agency said Barclays has already paid 17 million pounds in compensation and could pay 42 million pounds more.
