FCA warnings, week by week

• • Clone firm. Fraudsters are borrowing a genuine authorised firm's identity. The genuine firm is the victim, not the subject. Match the exact name, FRN and contact details on the FCA register, and never trust details a caller gives you.
• • Unauthorised firm. The FCA has not authorised the firm for UK business and it may be targeting UK residents. Some are licensed elsewhere and merely not permitted in the UK; some are frauds. A UK resident dealing with either has no FCA protections, FSCS cover or ombudsman route.
• • Absence proves nothing. A firm not on this list has simply not been flagged yet. Verify the licence on the register instead of relying on the absence of a warning.

Common questions

• • Source: the FCA's own warning pages, discovered through the FCA sitemap and read weekly. Warning text is © Financial Conduct Authority, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
• • Coverage: warnings published or updated from 1 Jun 2026, plus the older warnings our broker pages cite; the log is refreshed every Monday. The FCA's complete list is at fca.org.uk.
• • Matching: a clone warning is linked to a broker only when the genuine firm's FRN or legal name is in our licence-evidence log; an unauthorised-firm warning only when the FCA's text contains the brand name itself. Matches are shown with their basis.
• • CySEC and ASIC warnings are not automated here (their sites do not permit it); CySEC's monthly lists are checked by hand and feed our broker pages directly.
