Company information
The facts on file

- Regulatory
- Ownership by Publicis Groupe is confirmed. No verified licensing facts were found; finance-offer compliance duties (e.g. UK FCA financial-promotion approval, US state lending disclosures) sit with advertiser and publisher, but no CJ policy page stating its position was retrieved — this is a documentation gap.
