Financial Conduct Authority

The Financial Conduct Authority regulates financial services within its responsibilities in the UK. Its website provides information for consumers and firms, official warnings and routes to check information about financial businesses.

Published information and service routes cover consumer information, firm checking and regulatory guidance and warnings. Use the relevant official checker and read the scope of any permission or warning carefully. A listing or authorisation does not establish that a product suits an individual's circumstances, and different regulators or protection bodies have different roles.

For related tasks, Financial Conduct Authority can be considered alongside GOV.UK for benefits and National Insurance, passports and immigration and HM Revenue & Customs for personal tax accounts, self assessment and national insurance. These resources cover adjoining parts of the subject; each publishes its own information and handles its own service, access arrangements or applications.
