We're the department for opportunity, mission-driven to break the link between background & success by delivering higher standards of education, training & care.

We enable a fair and thriving financial services market for the good of consumers and the economy. We do this by: - Regulating the conduct of approximately 50,000 businesses - Prudentially supervising 48,000 firms Our Head Office is based in London, and we have offices in Edinburgh and Leeds. Firms and individuals must be authorised or registered by us to carry out certain activities.Before we grant authorisation, firms must demonstrate that they meet a range of requirements. We then supervise these firms to make sure they continue to meet our standards and rules after they’re authorised. If firms and individuals fail to meet these standards, we have a range of enforcement powers we can use.

We are the people’s champion - a charity working for the whole of society whoever you are, whatever your problem.
