The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published 12 warnings between 28 October and 2 November 2026, covering eight unauthorised operators and four clones.
They follow BrokersView’s earlier roundup of 22–27 October notices, which covered 11 new warnings and an updated Citibank clone alert.
The FCA said these operators were not authorised and might be targeting UK consumers.

The FCA advises consumers to avoid these operators. Customers dealing with them will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or FSCS protection for those dealings.
