On 1 April 2013, the Financial Services Authority was replaced by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). The table below lists the firms we have authorised as banks since 2013, based on the information available on the Financial Services Register at the time of publication. Please note that this list does not include any ring-fenced bodies (RFB) introduced as part of the ring-fencing regime which came into effect on 1 January 2019.
A firm’s registered or trading name, or its regulatory status, may change over time. As a result, the information shown here may not reflect a firm’s current details.
For the most up to date information on a firm’s authorisation status, name, and permissions, please consult the Financial Services Register.
