FCA warns FTX may be providing financial services in the UK without authorisation
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning regarding FTX. The regulator believes the firm may be providing financial services or products in the UK without its authorisation.
Almost all firms and individuals offering, promoting or selling financial services or products in the UK have to be authorised or registered by the FCA.
FTX is not authorised by us and is targeting people in the UK. You will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), so you are unlikely to get your money back if things go wrong.

If you used an authorised firm or registered firm, access to the Financial Ombudsman Service and FSCS protection will depend on the investment you are making, the service the firm is providing, and the permissions the firm has. If you would like further information about protection, the authorised or registered firm should be able to help.
If a firm does not appear on the FS Register but claims it does, contact the FCA Consumer Helpline on 0800 111 6768.
