FCA Authorisation

We help firms achieve FCA authorisation quickly and easily. We have a proven track record of success in helping firms get FCA authorised, and we are experts in the FCA's requirements and regulations.

Financial Crime

We will evaluate your Anti-Financial Crime (AFC) programme and work with you dealing with regulatory inquiries, risk and regulation, CDD/ EDD processes and shaping your approach towards anti-bribery and corruption risk.

Payment services

We will assist you in acquiring the payment service permissions required from the FCA in order for you to get up and running. Whether your focus is as a merchant acquirer, currency exchange, e-money, money remittance, or if you require a combination of permissions, we can support you.

Compliance advisory

We will advise you on how you can meet regulatory compliance excellence. We will work with your team to ensure services are delivered in a clear and economical way.

Regulatory training

We support your team with a range of courses focusing on the various rules and regulations of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). If you prefer, we also provide courses for your team to whitelabel internally.

The FCA has opened an investigation into a claims management company over how it marketed and sold motor finance claims. The regulator is concerned about misleading compensation claims, pressure selling, and failure to tell consumers they could claim for free. The case signals tougher enforcement and greater scrutiny across the claims management sector.

Focus on enforcement, consumer protection and payments flexibility.

These FCA updates from 19 to 23 December 2025 highlight a strong regulatory focus on governance, consumer protection, and financial resilience. The FCA continues to take decisive action against firms that pose risks, while also adjusting rules to support innovation, such as increased flexibility on contactless payment limits. At the same time, warnings around unregulated investments and firm failures underline the importance of robust controls and clear consumer communications.

UK Crypto Regulatory Regime: A New Era for Digital Assets

On 16 December 2025, the FCA released three landmark consultation papers (CP25/40, CP25/41, and CP25/42) that define the future of the UK crypto market. Moving beyond simple AML registration, the new regime introduces rigorous standards for token admissions, market abuse, staking, and prudential capital requirements.
