The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is a regulatory body in the UK responsible for overseeing financial markets and firms. Its main goals are to protect consumers, ensure market integrity, and promote competition among financial services. The FCA sets rules and standards that businesses must follow, monitors their activities, and takes action against those that fail to meet these requirements. By doing so, the FCA aims to maintain trust in the financial system, ensuring that consumers can make informed choices and that markets operate fairly and transparently.
