What is the FCA check?​

An FCA check is a critical component, specifically tailored for individuals working in financial services regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom. This check involves verifying an individual's status with the FCA, confirming their authorisation to perform specific regulated activities within the financial industry.

By conducting FCA checks, organisations can ensure that their employees comply with regulatory requirements, maintain the highest standards of integrity, and are fit and proper to carry out their roles in the financial sector. This proactive measure helps safeguard against potential risks such as financial misconduct, fraud, and breaches of regulatory compliance, ultimately promoting trust and confidence in the financial services industry.
