Activities and protection

What they can do, and how you are protected

  • Handle payments & transfers No FSCS cover
    Safeguarding is optional for a payment firm of this size, so your money may not be held in a separate protected account. Ask the firm whether it safeguards customer funds before sending it money. FSCS protection does not apply either way.
