Financial Conduct Authority
About Financial Conduct Authority
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the financial regulatory body for the United Kingdom, operating independently of the government and funded by fees from the financial services industry. It regulates financial services firms and markets in the UK, sets standards, and holds firms to account to protect consumers and maintain market integrity. The authority focuses on consumer protection, promoting competition, and ensuring a fair, stable financial system. It maintains resources such as the FCA Handbook and data services like RegData and Connect to oversee authorisation, supervision, enforcement, and policy development.
