Firm reference number 577057 on the Financial Services Register belongs to EBURY MASS PAYMENTS LIMITED rather than to the Ebury brand directly. The United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) records that company as an Authorised Payment Institution, a standing held since 26 February 2018 and shown as current when this check was made.
The FCA is the United Kingdom's statutory conduct regulator for financial services, and the Financial Services Register is its public record of authorised firms. This entry is a payment services authorisation: the register gives the firm type as PSD, describes the holder as an Authorised Payment Institution, and explains that this is a firm given permission to provide payment services. Payment Services is the only permission category listed under activities and services. It is not an investment firm authorisation.
A register entry records permission to operate; it is not a statement about a firm's finances or conduct, and confirming an entry today does not guarantee the permission remains in force later. The authorisation attaches to EBURY MASS PAYMENTS LIMITED alone, so other companies in the Ebury group operate under their own permissions in their own jurisdictions, and this entry should not be read as covering them.
The record gives a High Wycombe registered address, a telephone number, the website ebury.com, Companies House number 07061945, and three current trading names: EBURY MASS PAYMENTS LIMITED, Ebury and Global Corporate Payments. Earlier registered names include Frontierpay Ltd and The FX Firm Limited. The restrictions section was open and empty, showing no requirements placed on the firm. No expiry date appears anywhere on the record.
To confirm, search 577057 at register.fca.org.uk and open the firm record. The position would change if the FCA cancelled or varied the permission, if a requirement were imposed, or if the company changed its registered name.
