What is the FCA in the UK?
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates the financial services industry in the UK. Its role includes protecting consumers, keeping the industry stable, and promoting healthy competition between financial service providers.
How do you check if a company is FCA approved?
You can search the Financial Services Register (the Register) for firms and individuals, and the activities for which firms have permissions. Always check the firm you're dealing with is listed on the Register. It lists all the firms and current or previously approved individuals involved with regulated activities.
What can the FCA help with?
We monitor which firms and individuals can enter the financial markets, making sure they meet our standards before we authorise them.
