Until 2013, the Financial Services Authority was responsible for the provision of services in the sphere of financial control and financial activities in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. With the financial reform, these functions were transferred to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This body is an independent non-governmental organization whose powers and authority relate to:
- establishment of minimum standards and requirements in the field of financial market;
- regulation of actions in the field of marketing of financial products;
- control over companies and private entrepreneurs;
- establishment and application of sanctions.
In the process of doing business and specification of specific types of activities, especially those related to the work associated with the provision and acceptance of financial transactions (cash transfer, money transfer operations, credit transactions, etc.), the company needs to obtain appropriate financial license. In this case, the appropriate authorized institution for the request is the FCA.
This financial license should be owned by companies which services also include providing money transfers, issuing non-bank credit cards and providing merchant accounts. When applying for a financial license, you must pay attention to the total amount of financial transactions within a month. If it exceeds 3 million euros, the company needs to receive the status of a Payment Institution (PI). Otherwise, it can be qualified as a Small Payment Institution (SPI).
