Registered with the FCA

This firm is registered to provide account information services. With your permission it can read your account data, but it cannot hold or move your money.

This company holds 2 other FCA records

A company can hold several FCA records, covering different parts of its business, and each one carries its own permissions and protection. The reference number you were given decides which record applies to you.

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.
