The FCA remote jobs and company guide

Born from the regulatory overhaul of 2013, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) emerged with a clear and vital mission: to protect consumers, enhance market integrity, and promote effective competition within the UK's financial services industry. Replacing the former Financial Services Authority, the FCA was established to bring a sharper focus to conduct regulation, ensuring that financial markets work well for individuals, businesses, and the economy as a whole.

What began as a new regulatory body has evolved into a sophisticated, data-led organization that oversees around 50,000 financial services firms and financial markets in the UK. Operating independently of the government yet accountable to the Treasury and Parliament, the FCA has grown to employ over 5,000 people dedicated to setting standards, supervising conduct, and taking enforcement action where necessary. Today, the FCA stands as a cornerstone of the UK's financial landscape, continuously adapting to new challenges such as digital assets, AI, and the changing needs of consumers.
