What is FCA?
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is one of the competent regulatory body that responsible for regulating financial services.
Headquartered in the United Kingdom (UK), FCA continues to update the information for regulated firms on their website and expect to continue adapting their guidance for various circumstances.
Keeping the FCA website updated, we take Doo Clearing as an example, enables brokerages and other institutional investors to know the authorized firms remain constantly regulated.
- Firstly, enter the official website of FCA: www.fca.org.uk to check a truly licensed, regulated, and authorized liquidity providers. This is the first step to guide you to know the licensing and regulation. Look for Financial Services Register column at the homepage and the style has not changed much with the previous interface (shown below) and click it.
- FCA has updated the search column for a regulatory query. It is different from the old version and this time the column is more user-friendly. For example, users can just enter the reference number and choose either want to check regulated firms or individuals. Additionally. users can narrow their search results by adding a location. Other than that, the video guide leads users to know about how to use their “Register”.
- After completion, the full name and regulation number of the corresponding liquidity provider will be displayed (as shown below). If the search result is empty, it means that the firm is not regulated by the FCA.
- When you click on the liquidity provider name, you will directly enter the detailed page of the liquidity provider. FCA has made a detailed list of restrictions (or suspensions) that may apply to the company you have searched for.
-
* The restriction could be the type of client he can accept. The location of the clients they cannot accept, the holding of funds, etc.
- The biggest highlight of the new version of the regulatory query interface is to simplify the old version of obscure and difficult language and numerous categories into six easy-understand query functions (as shown below).
-
(1) Overview of the liquidity provider (Who is this firm?). *See the image below for Doo Clearing regulation.

(2) How to protect the clients of the liquidity provider? (How are customers protected?). *See the image below for Doo Clearing regulation.
