Financial Regulators & Financial Authorities

Just as with the rest of the financial market, brokering is regulated under the law. Various regulators and financial authorities are responsible for controlling different areas of the market.

Financial Services Authority

The FSA regulates all financial services in the UK. Established by the Government, it is an independent organization that settles complaints between customers and financial service providers, and they reserve the power to revoke any financial service broker’s authorisation. The FSA also provides useful consumer information with regards to financial services.
