United Kingdom
The UK has banks, building societies and a two-part regulatory framework. Explore published financial products and learn how to check a provider through the FCA.
The UK banking and financial market
The United Kingdom has banks, building societies, credit unions and other financial-service firms. The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), part of the Bank of England, supervises the safety and soundness of banks and several other institution types; the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has a separate consumer-protection and conduct role.
Different licences allow firms to provide different services. The FCA Firm Checker can help users assess whether a company is authorised and permitted to offer the activity in question. NEXVORO publishes information about UK institutions and selected financial products, but product availability and eligibility should always be confirmed with the provider.
