S&P Global Ratings UK Limited: FCA regulated?

Registered with the FCA

This firm is on the FCA register, but as a registration rather than full authorisation, so the FCA's oversight of its conduct is more limited.

Registered for 5 years
No FCA actions
Active company since 2018

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.

No website on the FCA register
No phone number on the FCA register
No address on the FCA register

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.
