Registered with the FCA

This firm is registered as a small payment institution. That is a lighter regime than full FCA authorisation, applied to smaller payment firms, and safeguarding of customer money is optional at this size.

Identity

Check their details

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.

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.
