Who is licensed to do what, and where.
One record of licensed financial firms, regulator warnings and enforcement, built from the regulators’ own registers and updated every week. Banks, payment firms, platforms and insurers use it to check a firm before they bank it, onboard it, advertise for it or insure it.
Every record comes from a regulator’s own published register or list, with the source and the date we read it.

Every record is read from a regulator’s own register, list or published data file, under that regulator’s terms of reuse. Each record carries its source and the date we read it, so your team can confirm it at the source.
The register covers firms, not people. We do not hold agents who are individuals or fines and bans against named people.
The register is rebuilt every week. Each run is compared with the last one and every difference is recorded as a dated change, so you can see when a licence was granted, withdrawn or changed.
A firm missing from the register or from a warning list is not proof that it is safe or licensed. The register shows what regulators have published; we always advise confirming a decision on the regulator’s own register.
Banks, payment firms, card acquirers, advertising and app platforms, insurers, investors and verification platforms that need to know whether a financial firm is licensed and whether a regulator has warned about it or fined it.
Through the check API, a weekly data feed, change alerts or checks on request. Tell us how you plan to use it and we will set up access.
