Safeguarding works differently from FSCS, but protects your full balance when the rules are followed correctly.

    You can refer a complaint about this firm to the Financial Ombudsman Service for free, whichever activity it relates to.

  • 5. Issuing and/or acquiring of payment instruments.

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.

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.
