Registered with the FCA

This firm is registered as a small e-money institution. That is a lighter regime than full FCA authorisation, applied to smaller e-money firms, though it must still safeguard the money it holds.

Website, phone number and address

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.

FCA permissions and consumer protection

  • Handle payments & transfers Funds safeguarded
    Your money must be kept in a separate safeguarded account. If the firm fails, all safeguarded funds should be returned to you. With no upper limit, unlike the capped amounts under FSCS. Safeguarding works differently from FSCS, but protects your full balance when the rules are followed correctly.
