Financial Conduct Authority

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is a regulatory body in the United Kingdom responsible for overseeing financial markets and firms to ensure they operate fairly, honestly, and transparently. Its main goals are to protect consumers, maintain market integrity, and promote competition. The FCA supervises banks, insurance companies, investment firms, and other financial entities, setting rules and guidelines to prevent misconduct and maintain trust in the financial system. By doing so, the FCA aims to ensure that consumers are treated fairly and that the financial sector operates effectively and safely.
