Detailed Information

What This Means for You

If you deal with an unauthorised financial firm, you may not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you need to make a complaint.

You may also not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if something goes wrong. This means you may be unlikely to recover your money if the firm becomes unable to continue its business.

If you sent money to a fraudster on or after 7 October 2024, you may be covered by protections introduced by the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR). These protections may apply in certain cases involving payments made to scam accounts.

How to Protect Yourself

Only deal with financial firms that are authorised by the FCA. Using an authorised firm can provide greater protection if something goes wrong.

You can use the FCA Firm Checker to confirm whether a financial firm is authorised and whether it has permission to provide the services you are looking for.

The Firm Checker can also help you find:

• Information about how you are protected
• Contact details for authorised firms

If a financial business contacts you unexpectedly, use the contact details shown on the FCA Firm Checker rather than relying on contact information provided in the unsolicited message.

Report an Unauthorised Firm

If you believe you have been approached by an unauthorised financial firm, you can report it to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

You can also use the FCA’s official contact form to report an unauthorised firm.
