Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is an independent non-governmental financial services regulator. It is funded by charging the firms they regulate fees to carry out their financial activities.[1]

They are based in Canary Wharf.

History

It was established by the Financial Services Act of 2012, which was legislated after the financial crash, to 'set out a new system for regulating financial services in order to protect and improve the UK's economy.' The act abolished the Financial Services Authority and split it's responsibilities between two new agencies the Prudential Regulation Authority and the FCA and the Bank of England.[2]
