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.

Past FCA permissions and consumer protection

The record is closed
Cover you already have generally survives the cancellation: FSCS exists for firms that have failed, and the Financial Ombudsman Service can look at a complaint about a firm that has stopped trading, as long as the business was done while it was authorised. New business with this firm has no cover at all, because it is no longer permitted to carry it out.

FCA disciplinary action

action: 1
most recent: September 2026

Permission varied or cancelled on 7 September 2026

Name: HR Bank Limited Reference Number: 682673 Type of action: Cancellation “The Authority has cancelled the registration of HR Bank Limited (“the Firm”) of 7 Bell Yard, London, WC2A 2JR. The reason for this action is that the Firm failed to comply with requirements under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (“the MLR”), despite repeated requests to do so. The Authority issued the Notice of Decision to Cancel on 4 August 2026 and the cancellation action took effect on 7 September 2026. A copy of the Notice of Decision to Cancel, which sets out the reason for the action, is displayed on the Authority’s website and can be accessed using the following link: https://www.fca.org.uk/publication/decision-notices/hr-bank-limited-2026.pdf As a consequence of this action the Firm is no longer a registered firm for the MLR.

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.
