FCA Flags 9 Unlicensed Financial Website: Warning on Investor Risks
Abstract：FCA warns against 9 unlicensed financial websites, urging investors to avoid them due to lack of regulatory protection.
The UKs Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning about 9 unlicensed financial websites that may be offering or promoting financial services without proper authorization.

What is the FCA?
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the regulatory body overseeing financial services in the UK. Its primary role is to ensure that financial firms operate fairly, transparently, and in compliance with strict regulations to protect consumers and maintain market integrity.
What Happens If an FCA-Regulated Firm Collapses?
One of the key protections for investors dealing with FCA-authorized firms is the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). If a regulated firm collapses, investors may be eligible for compensation:
• Up to £85,000 per person for lost deposits from a failed financial institution.
• Compensation for investment losses if the firm engaged in fraudulent or improper conduct.
• Faster resolution and potential recovery of funds through the FCAs intervention.
