How to protect yourself
Dealing with financial firms that are authorised or registered by us gives you greater protection if things go wrong. Check the Financial Services Register[1] to ensure they are authorised or registered. It has information on firms and individuals that are, or have been, regulated by us.
If you used an authorised firm or registered firm, access to the Financial Ombudsman Service and FSCS protection will depend on the investment you are making, the service the firm is providing, and the permissions the firm has. If you would like further information about protection, the authorised or registered firm should be able to help.
If a firm does not appear on the Register but claims it does, contact our Consumer Helpline on 0800 111 6768.
There are more steps you should take to protect yourself from scams[2].
