FCA stands for Financial Conduct Authority and it is a financial regulatory body of the UK. Financial services are a critical aspect of any robust economy and keeping proper financial services institutions is need of the hour. The UK government has established FCA to regulate all finance-related activities of the UK’s financial industry. Though the body is commissioned by the UK’s government but it operates independent of the UK’s government. The operational expenses of the body are met by fees collected from members of the financial industry.
The FCA works alongside the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Policy Committee to set regulatory requirements for the financial sector. The FCA is responsible for the conduct of around 58,000 businesses which employ 2.2 million people and contribute around £65.6 billion in annual tax revenue to the economy in the United Kingdom. The body carries out its regulation by authorization, supervision, enforcement, competition law, handbook and guidance, and principles of good regulation.
In addition to its regulatory services, the body also offers two-way communication channels via its website for both the financial entities and general public to reach out the regulatory body’ customer support team. You can get in touch with its supportive and professional customer support team if you are having any query or want to file a complaint. You can connect with the customer support team via any of the following means.
- Via Phone
- Via Live Chat
- Via Contact Form
- Via Post
