Authorised by the FCA

This firm is on the FCA register and authorised to carry out regulated activities.

What the FCA says

Recognised Auction Platforms (RAPs)

Recognised Auction Platforms run auctions in EU emission allowances, under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Recognised Auction Platforms) Regulations 2011. ‘Recognised’ means they do not need to be authorised to operate regulated activities in the UK. They must also be recognised as Recognised Investment Exchanges (RIEs) but they do not operate secondary market activities relating to emission allowances.

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.

The FCA warning these came from

Scammers change these details often. Always check the live FCA warning.

Past FCA permissions and consumer protection

  • Not a consumer service
    This is a market infrastructure registration rather than a consumer service. The Financial Ombudsman Service does not cover complaints about this activity, and FSCS protection does not apply.

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.

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