FCA check
FCA screening checks are essential background verifications that ensure individuals are ‘fit and proper’ for roles regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. These checks cover various aspects of an applicant’s suitability, including identity verification, educational background, credit score assessment, and criminal record checks.
Only those who successfully pass these comprehensive screenings can earn the title of ‘approved person,’ a designation given to employees performing controlled functions as specified by FCA guidelines. This process helps maintain high standards of integrity and competence within the financial sector.
