FCA Payment Services Regulations 2017

01 January 2017

Firms FCA regulate may also carry out activities that are not regulated by either the FCA or the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). Complaints or claims about these unregulated activities may not be covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). If you are unsure whether an activity undertaken by a firm is regulated by us or the PRA, then you should ask the firm to confirm in writing what protections will be available to you if you need to make a complaint or claim compensation. We want to give an explanation regarding the speculation about the information posted on the FCA website. https://register.fca.org.uk/s/unauthorised-firm?id=001b000000m4IndAAE

Please note that this information is Unauthorised, which means that We do not provide payment services regulated by the FCA. e.g. Accepting deposits, providing credit to consumers, giving investment advice; arranging deals in investments. We are not subject to authorization in the FCA.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT


To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, International Banking Law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account or creates a new customer relationship with our financial institution.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. In this time, accounts are available only for new customers with references from our clients. In other words, you cannot open an account in any way without such references.

We provide service only for members of UK cooperative which is our business partner. We not provide any services for general public. To obtain any our service you must obtain cooperative's membership first.

According to SCHEDULE 1 PART 2 to the Payment Services Regulations 2017. Exemptions and exclusions.


More generally, there is a broad range of activities which do not constitute payment services under Schedule 1 Part 2 to the PSRs 2017. Amongst these excluded activities, set out more fully in Annex 3. A firm will be exempt from authorization and registration requirements under the regulations to the extent that its activities fall within one or more of the exclusions in Schedule 1 Part 2 to the regulations. In each case, it will be for businesses to consider their own circumstances and whether they fall within the relevant exclusions.
