General guidance on what constitutes commercial use of the data is here. We would regard most use of the data by a for-profit financial institution (such as for an internal risk assessment by a bank) as commercial use, as well as the inclusion of FSI 2020 data in any product or service that is sold to third parties (including to existing clients who are paying for a service that might include access to FSI 2020 data in the future). We do not regard the reproduction of FSI 2020 data in paid-for media articles as commercial use, however.
