About Us

Founded 2013 Company size 5,001 to 10,000 Industry Finance Link Financial Conduct Authority website The Financial Conduct Authority is a financial regulatory body in the United Kingdom, but operates independently of the UK Government, and is financed by charging fees to members of the financial services industry. There are few jobs where you can make a real difference to the 2 million people who work in the UK Financial Services Industry, the 40 million consumers of financial products and the stability of our economy as a whole. From regulating Consumer Credit to driving action on Foreign Exchange manipulation or helping strengthen accountability in the banking sector, the FCA is working with the industry to protect consumers, ensure the integrity of the UK financial system and promote fair and effective competition. Our remit has significantly expanded since our creation in 2013, with the number of firms we regulate growing from 23,000 to 56,000. We oversee conduct across the full span of the financial sector from global investment banks to high street payday lenders and are now preparing to implement a new strategy that will sharpen our focus to face the regulatory challenges ahead. Finance and Business Services focuses strongly on customer service, providing both support and appropriate challenge to the wider business to help ensure that the FCA utilizes its available resources in the most effective, efficient and economical way. Within the Division, the Revenue Operations team is responsible for collecting data, modelling fees and invoicing fee payers to raise the Annual Funding Requirement for the FCA each year. In addition, we operate a shared service collecting fees and levies for eight other regulatory organizations including the Prudential Regulation Authority, Financial Services Compensation Scheme levy, Financial Ombudsman Service and the Money Advice Service. The Revenue team are responsible for identifying the population of firms to be billed for fees & levies and into which fee-blocks they should be allocated. In total, the Revenue team collected in excess of £2bn in 2021/22. At the FCA, we’re creating a fair and more resilient financial system. We’re establishing more transparent relationships between financial services and their customers, building trust in financial markets and protecting vulnerable consumers. The FCA is currently trialing a new hybrid way of working, requiring colleagues to spend 40% of their time in the office each month until the end of July. This trial period will allow us to identify the most appropriate balance of hybrid working, enabling us to benefit from the best of both working in an office environment and remotely. The FCA's Values & Diversity Our ambition is to create a diverse and inclusive workplace that reflects the society we serve, helping us to be a better regulator.
