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.

Track record

FCA actions and complaints

No FCA disciplinary action, and no complaints recorded with the Ombudsman.

The clone warnings above are scammers using this firm's name, not something the firm has done.
