FCA Firm Checker
Whether you’re considering an investment, pension opportunity, loan or other financial service, use the Financial Conduct Authority’s Firm Checker to confirm the firm is authorised and help avoid scams.
You should also check the contact details match those listed on Firm Checker to avoid scammers pretending to be a real firm.
Using an authorised firm brings other benefits as they must meet FCA standards and follow the FCA’s rules. It means you can take a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service and are more likely to benefit from protection offered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
Firm Checker also highlights firms the FCA knows are operating without permission, so you know which ones to avoid.
