What is Financial Conduct Authority?

The Financial Conduct Authority is the UK body that authorises businesses to hold and move customer money. A firm that appears in its register has met rules on safeguarding funds and how it treats customers, so the register is a quick way to check a provider before you sign up. Licence numbers also make two providers easier to tell apart, since a number belongs to one firm rather than to a brand name. ANNA Money lists Financial Conduct Authority licence 900594, Capital on Tap lists 900922, and Cosmo Payment lists 900015. Crypto.com Earn has no number listed, which leaves its status open to check.
