Who we regulate
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is an independent organisation responsible for regulating financial services in the UK.
The FSA's aim is to promote efficient, orderly and fair financial markets and help retail financial service consumers get a fair deal.
The FSA was set up by government. The government is responsible for the overall scope of the FSA’s regulatory activities and for its powers.
The FSA regulates most financial services markets, exchanges and firms. It
sets the standards that they must meet and can take action against firms if
they fail to meet the required standards.
