FCA Warning List New Entries: Late August to September 2026 Roundup

The Financial Conduct Authority has added several unauthorised entities, clone firms and social media handles to its caution register.

New Entries Published on 1 September 2026

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the United Kingdom's financial services regulator, added four firms to its warning list on 1 September 2026 (Financial Conduct Authority). The entries are Swift TradeX (new) (FCA), POLARIS CAPITAL CONSULTING GROUP (new) (FCA), Alpha-Flow.ai (new) (FCA) and Red Matter Capital Ltd (new) (FCA). The FCA's warning list names firms and websites the regulator says may be providing or promoting financial services in the UK without its permission; inclusion is the FCA's published caution, not a finding this publication has made (Financial Conduct Authority). For Swift TradeX, the FCA's own summary states the firm may be providing or promoting financial services or products without permission, that it is not authorised by the FCA and may be targeting people in the UK (FCA).

On 27 August 2026, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) updated its warning list with @NexatradexGold1, stating the handle may be operating without its permission (FCA). The FCA published warnings on the same date for @markets_fb41245 (FCA) and @ScarlettJoha3y0 (FCA).

The FCA also issued warnings for @Metatrader_4off (FCA) and @Goldtraderhakah (FCA). Rounding out the updates on 27 August 2026 are @jessicafxgold (FCA) and @BubbleAnalytics (FCA).

Cautions Regarding Clone Firms

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) cautions that clone fraudsters copy the details of authorised firms to convince people that their firm is genuine (Financial Conduct Authority). The regulator notes that almost all firms and individuals carrying out or promoting financial services in the UK must be authorised or registered by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority).

On 28 August 2026, the FCA published a warning regarding reclaim-experts.com, stating that the firm is not authorised but has been contacting people pretending to be an authorised firm (Financial Conduct Authority).

The FCA added several other entities to its warning list as suspected clones of registered or authorised firms during late August 2026:

mastertrdlmt.com, listed on 27 August 2026 as a clone of an FCA registered firm (Financial Conduct Authority)
