  • The firm agreed to a voluntary requirement on 8 July 2024 which states that it must not accept or process any new account applications from any person categorised as High Risk for the purposes of financial crime risk.
    “High-risk” for the purposes of this Requirement means those customers who pose a significant potential for involvement in suspicious or illicit activities that may expose the Firm to financial, regulatory, or reputational risks. Such customers may include, but are not limited to those: • from countries with a high-risk rating according to international standard risk assessment frameworks or internal risk assessment models; • engaged in sectors vulnerable to money laundering, financing of terrorism, or other financial crimes; • who are high-risk non-domestic PEPs due to their position, affiliations, or adverse media; or • classified as high-risk based on the internal risk rating model or due to specific alerts or red flags.

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.
