What the FCA says
ATTENTION - Firm in an insolvency process
This firm is in an insolvency process. It is under the control of the appointed insolvency office holder(s) and may have stopped taking on new business. It has to continue to meet our standards in line with its regulatory status, including when dealing with its customers. If you are/were a customer check how this affects you with the firm or the appointed insolvency office holder(s).
What does this mean?
- Some businesses are required by law to have an anti-money-laundering supervisor. For this kind of business that supervisor is the FCA, and the registration is the only reason the firm appears on the FCA register.
- What the FCA checks is narrow: that the firm identifies its customers, keeps records, and reports suspicious activity. It is the anti-crime paperwork behind a bank asking you for ID.
- It does not check anything about you as a customer. Not whether the firm treats you fairly, not whether it is financially sound, not whether what it sells is any good. The FCA describes firms registered this way as “not authorised or subject to wider FCA regulation”.
- So if the firm fails or treats you badly, there is no FSCS compensation, and the Financial Ombudsman Service usually cannot look at a complaint about unregulated business.
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.

- Crown Financial & Merchant Bank Plc - in liquidation Former name: A name it was registered under before.
Past FCA permissions and consumer protection
- In an insolvency processMoney the firm held is returned through the appointed office holders, which takes time and can fall short. The FSCS covers eligible claims up to its limits, and the Ombudsman can still look at a complaint.
FCA disciplinary action and complaints
No FCA disciplinary action.
The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.
