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.
