Meet UK Financial Regulatory Screening Requirements and Manage Risk with Ease and Convenience

We have 25+ years’ experience customising background screening for firms operating in the financial service sector.

Background Check For FCA FIT Compliance

FCA FIT rules requires firms to ensure that all staff, and in particular, Senior Managers and persons in Certificated roles are screened for Competency and Capability, Financial Probity and Honesty and Integrity. 

Financial Services Register Check 

In the UK, nearly all financial service activities must be authorised by the FCA. Credence conducts thorough searches against the register for verification of name, status, FSR reference number, controlled functions, current employer name and start date. The check also searches all previous companies worked for in a controlled function, with start and end dates. All disciplinary action taken by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) will be listed along with associated dates. 

Consult with our compliance experts to develop a tailored program for pre employment screening and continuous background checks.
