The body that authorises and watches financial firms in the United Kingdom.
The Financial Conduct Authority is the body that authorises and supervises financial firms in the United Kingdom, covering lenders and credit providers as well as advisers. A firm cannot lend to borrowers without appearing on its register, so a quick lookup tells you whether a lender is real and what it is allowed to do. Admiral Group is listed as 311649. Cynergy Bank appears as 575105, CPC as 462863 and Cash Converters as 680947.
