Finding

A full UK investment firm authorisation. The FCA is the United Kingdom's statutory financial regulator and one of the strictest in the world, with capital rules, conduct rules, a complaints route and, for eligible retail clients, access to the Financial Ombudsman Service and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The licence is recorded against ABANS GLOBAL LIMITED with abansglobal.co.uk as the firm's website, so the number is not being worn by a copycat. Note the firm serves institutional and professional clients, and professional clients get less protection than retail clients. Client protection: High. UK conduct and capital supervision, with ombudsman and compensation access for eligible retail clients, though not for every client category.. Effective: 2 Apr 2013.
