We work with FCA regulated partners.
The FCA requires standards to be met across three areas. The Currency Cloud exceeds in all of these areas as outlined below:
-
Capital Adequacy
The levels of capital requirements are based on The Currency Cloud’s level of activity. The Currency Cloud will have their capital adequacy reviewed by the FCA on an annual basis.
-
Client Protection
Funds are safeguarded by our FCA-regulated e-money partners at a credit institution.
-
Internal Risk Management
The Currency Cloud has strict governance and operational processes in place to scrutinise the accuracy of each of their transactions, with appropriate involvement from their Directors. Compliance with their governance and processes is regularly audited by the FCA for the enhanced protection of our clients.
Safeguarding of Funds
When funds are posted to your account, e-money is issued in exchange for these funds, by an Electronic Money Institution who we work with, called Currencycloud. In line with regulatory requirements, Currencycloud safeguards your funds. This means that the money behind the balance you see in your account is held at a reputable bank, and most importantly, is protected for you in the event of Currencycloud’s, or MTI PARTNERS SL, insolvency. Currencycloud stops safeguarding your funds when the money has been paid out of your account to your beneficiary’s account.
