Activities and protection

What the record covers, and how you are protected

  • Protection works through the principal
    This firm acts as an agent of an authorised payment or e-money firm rather than holding its own authorisation. FSCS does not protect money held by an agent. Funds should be safeguarded by the principal, and the Financial Ombudsman Service may still be able to look at a complaint.
