FCA Warns That fundyourfx.live Is Not Authorised

The Financial Conduct Authority published a warning on September 28 about fundyourfx.live. The regulator says the firm is not authorised or registered by the FCA and may be providing or promoting financial services or products without permission.

The FCA said the firm may be targeting people in the UK and advised consumers to avoid dealing with it and to beware of scams. Its warning lists the website as https://fundyourfx.live and provides an email contact. The regulator also notes that unauthorised firms can alter their contact information or use details that belong to another business or individual, making verification through a website alone unreliable.

This is an official warning rather than a conclusion about every claim the site may make. For traders, the practical point is that a platform’s branding or an apparent trading-related offer does not establish its regulatory status. The entity accepting the client and the service offered should match an authorised entry on the FCA register where UK authorisation is claimed.

Why it matters

Funding a trading account before confirming the regulated entity can expose customers to fewer routes for redress. The FCA says people who deal with unauthorised firms may not be able to use the Financial Ombudsman Service or claim Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection if their money is lost.
