Choosing a trustworthy financial service provider isn’t just about convenience it’s about peace of mind. Here’s why UK and EU customers should work with firms that follow FCA standards, and how Easykonto goes above and beyond to protect businesses.
Understanding the FCA
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the UK’s independent financial watchdog, accountable to both Parliament and the Treasury. Formed in 2012 after the dissolution of the Financial Services Authority (FSA), it was designed to restore trust in the financial system following the 2008 crisis.
Today, the FCA oversees more than 58,000 financial companies (2025), ensuring they operate fairly, transparently, and with customer protection at the forefront.
The FCA’s Role
The FCA is more than just a regulator it sets the tone for how finance should operate responsibly. Its work focuses on three key areas:
- Safeguarding consumers through rules, checks, and support systems.
- Maintaining market integrity by monitoring firms and addressing misconduct.
- Encouraging competition to give customers more choice and fairer services.
It also actively monitors financial advertising, investigates fraud, issues penalties, and regularly updates the compliance framework. For the public, it provides company registries, complaint systems, and educational resources.
Easykonto' s Approach to Compliance
At Easykonto, compliance is not a box-ticking exercise — it’s the core of trust. We follow FCA-aligned standards and build our solutions to exceed them, giving clients confidence in every transaction.
Our security and compliance measures include:
- Thorough onboarding (KYC/KYB): We verify customers and businesses to prevent misuse.
- Transaction-level checks: Additional documentation ensures every transfer meets compliance rules.
- Fraud monitoring: Our team detects suspicious activity and provides rapid response.
- GDPR readiness: Customers stay in control of their personal and business data.
- Advanced account security: Encrypted logins with optional two-factor authentication (2FA).
Protecting Client Funds
We enforce strict safeguarding policies. All client money is kept separate from company funds, ensuring maximum protection. While not identical to insurance, this model provides strong reassurance in the unlikely event of institutional failure.
