FCA warning list adds 20 new entries in early August 2026

The Financial Conduct Authority published warnings against unauthorised firms and clone operations between 31 July and 7 August.

Regulator context

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the UK's financial services regulator (Financial Conduct Authority). The FCA maintains a warning list of firms and websites that may be providing or promoting financial services in the UK without its permission. Inclusion on this list represents the FCA's published caution, rather than a finding made by this publication. The list serves as a regulatory signal that the named entities may be operating outside the UK's authorisation framework. The FCA's wording indicates that these firms may be conducting regulated activities without the required authorisation. This cautionary approach reflects the regulator's role in alerting consumers and market participants to potential unauthorised activity. The warning list does not constitute a determination of fraud or criminal conduct by the FCA, but rather identifies entities the regulator believes may be breaching the requirement to hold appropriate permissions. Consumers are encouraged to check the list before engaging with financial service providers.

Entries published 7–8 August 2026

On 7 August 2026, the FCA published a warning list entry for Superior Wealth Capital, operating via superiorwealthcapital.com (FCA warning list published: "Superior Wealth Capital / superiorwealthcapital.com (new)" (dated 2026-08-07)). The regulator's summary states that the firm may be providing or promoting financial services or products without the FCA's permission and is not authorised by the FCA, potentially targeting people in the UK. Almost all firms and individuals must be authorised or registered by the FCA to carry out or promote financial services in the UK. On the same date, the FCA added a warning list entry for Bixerydigital, also marked as new (FCA warning list published: "Bixerydigital (new)" (dated 2026-08-07)).
