FCA Register + Memtro

Ask whether a firm is FCA authorised, for which activities, and who is approved there.

Connect the FCA Register with your registered email and a free API key, and Memtro searches the UK Financial Services Register for firms, individuals and funds by name, then reads a firm's status, permissions, requirements, trading names, approved individuals and disciplinary history, an individual's status and where they work, or a fund's operator and depositary. Memtro keeps to the FCA's call limit and caches answers for six hours. It reads on demand and there is no hourly sync. Nothing is written: this is public register data, read-only.

In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once FCA Register is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

FCA Register logoFCA Register + Memtro
  • Is Northwind Payments authorised by the FCA, and since when?

  • What regulated activities is Brightwave Ltd permitted to carry on?

  • Who are the approved individuals at Acme Wealth?

  • Has the FCA taken any enforcement action against BigCo Finance?

  • What other trading names has Northwind used?

01

Checking a new partner

Before signing a referral deal the compliance lead asks whether Brightwave Ltd is authorised. Memtro finds its FRN, then reads its status, permissions with their limitations, any requirements the FCA has imposed and its trading names, so she can match them to the contract.

02

Who is approved there

The account lead preparing for a BigCo Finance meeting asks who holds approved roles there. Memtro reads the firm's approved individuals with their IRN and status, and confirms the firm has no disciplinary history on the register.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on FCA Register most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in FCA Register is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in FCA Register?+

Not yet. Today every FCA Register tool reads, searches or lists. When the connector gains actions, each is marked, granted by name per team and used only when a person asks for exactly that, so nothing is created, sent, updated or deleted until you say so.

Who can use a FCA Register connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my FCA Register data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect FCA Register?+

Registered email and API key. At register.fca.org.uk/Developer choose Register to be a New User; registration is free for anyone.
