What the FCA says
Deferred Payment Credit (Buy Now Pay Later) - temporary permission
This firm has temporary permission to provide Deferred Payment Credit (Buy Now Pay Later) agreements. This means it’s considered authorised by the FCA, but it hasn't been assessed against the standards required for full authorisation. The firm still has to follow our rules and guidance, and if consumers have a complaint about a Buy Now Pay Later agreement, they can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service if they’re not happy with the response they get from the firm.
- This firm is operating under temporary permission while it seeks full UK authorisation. What it is permitted to do could change.
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 safeguardedYour 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.
- Lend or arrange credit No FSCS coverConsumer credit is not covered by the FSCS, so there is no compensation scheme if the firm fails.
- Complaints Ombudsman, freeYou can refer a complaint about this firm to the Financial Ombudsman Service for free, whichever activity it relates to.
Show FCA detail (2 permissions)
- Entering into regulated deferred payment credit agreements as lender
- Exercising, or having the right to exercise, the lender’s rights and duties under regulated deferred payment credit agreements
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.

About these figures
- Turnover
- Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
- Profit before tax
- What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.
- Net assets, or total equity
- Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
- Total assets and total liabilities
- Everything the company owns, and everything it owes, on the last day of the year. The gap between them is its net assets.
- Cash at bank
- Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
- Owed within a year, owed after a year
- Debts and bills due in the next twelve months, and those due later.
There is no turnover or profit: small companies do not have to publish them.
Accounts filed at Companies House for company 16153257. Every figure is as filed, apart from total assets and total liabilities, which are added up from filed figures. Nothing is estimated.
