Finding

An authorised payment institution registration. It covers moving and converting client money for international payments, and requires client funds to be segregated and safeguarded. On its own it would not cover investment business or derivatives, which is why the separate authorisation 602082 matters. Client protection: Client money must be segregated and safeguarded under the Payment Services Regulations 2017, with Financial Ombudsman access. Safeguarding is not a compensation scheme.. Effective: 18 May 2018.
