Abstract:Stay Informed: FCA Issues Updated Advisory on Non-Authorized Firms. Protect Your Finances – Verify Firm Authorization Now. Read More.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is committed to ensuring the integrity and security of the financial markets in the United Kingdom. As part of our ongoing efforts to protect consumers and investors, we are issuing an updated advisory concerning firms that are not authorized under the FCA. This release aims to inform the public and help them make more informed decisions regarding their financial dealings.
The FCA has identified several entities operating within the UK's financial markets that have not obtained the necessary authorization to offer, promote, or sell financial services or products. Dealing with non-authorized firms can expose individuals and businesses to unnecessary risks, including the lack of regulatory protection in case of misconduct or insolvency.

The FCA urges the public to exercise caution and always verify the authorization status of any firm or individual offering financial services. We recommend using the Financial Services Register available on the FCA website to check whether a firm is authorized. Please be aware that dealing with unauthorized firms greatly increases the risk of financial losses and fraud.
For further information or to report suspicious activity, please contact the FCA Consumer Helpline or WikiFX Support.
