Announcements, enforcement outcomes, and investor advisories.
The Financial Monitoring Commission licenses investment firms, supervises their conduct, and enforces the rules that protect investors and preserve market integrity.
Our supervisory footprint across registered markets.
The Financial Monitoring Commission operates under a formal cooperation framework with INTERPOL and international enforcement bodies. Cross-border evidence, asset-freezing requests, and Red Notices are coordinated through our Financial Crime Liaison Office — ensuring offenders are pursued wherever they operate, including through cryptocurrency and digital-asset channels.
Direct channel to INTERPOL's Financial Crime and Anti-Corruption Centre (IFCACC) for cross-border investigations, extradition support, and coordinated asset recovery.
A dedicated task force investigates firms that misuse cryptocurrency — fake exchanges, unlicensed wallet operators, and Ponzi schemes settling in USDT, BTC, or other stablecoins.
Blockchain analytics partners help the FMC trace illicit crypto flows across networks, freeze funds at cooperating exchanges, and return recovered assets to victims.
Intelligence is shared with foreign regulators under Memoranda of Understanding, and prosecutions are supported through the UK Home Office's mutual legal assistance channels.
Public outcomes from the FMC's supervisory and enforcement work — restitution ordered, penalties imposed, and firms removed from the market.
Entities operating without authorisation, cloning licensed firms, or showing patterns of investment fraud. Always cross-check the register before depositing funds.
The FMC coordinates day-to-day with UK and international bodies to prevent fraud, share intelligence, and secure redress for investors.
Our guided complaint form walks you through three steps: your personal information, the details of your dealings with the firm, and the documents that support your case. You'll receive a reference number to track everything.
