There is no definition of a 'bank' in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Various organisations have told us that it would be helpful if the FSA could nevertheless publish a list of regulated firms which businesses and the public would think of as banks, similar to that which the Bank of England (until May 1998) and the FSA (from June 1998 until November 2001) used to publish under the Banking Act 1987. In response to this demand, we are now publishing such a list, which is based on the definition of 'bank' in the Glossary to the FSA's Handbook.

The list of banks published by the FSA is intended to be used solely as a guide. The FSA does not warrant, nor does it accept any responsibility for, the accuracy or completeness of the list or for any loss which may arise from reliance by any person on information contained in the list.
