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

1
most recent
April 2021
  • Permission varied or cancelled on 13 April 2021
    On 13 April 2021, the FCA issued a Second Supervisory Notice against Newport Services (UK) Limited. The reason for this action is because the firm failed to satisfy the Conditions for Authorisation detailed in Regulations 6(6) and 6(7) of the Payment Services Regulations 2017 (and the corresponding provisions of the Payment Services Regulations 2009). As a consequence of the Second Supervisory Notice, the authorisation granted to Newport Services (UK) Limited under Part 2 of the PSR is varied, by removing with immediate effect, the firm’s authorisation to provide payment services. Accordingly, Newport Services (UK) Limited is no longer authorised to provide the money remittance payment service. Link to Notice

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.
