Regulatory Confidence for ARs
Your Compliance, Our Priority
At Fiducia Commercial Network, compliance isn’t just a requirement – it’s our top priority. Our dedicated team works relentlessly to ensure all members of our Appointed Representative (AR) Network operate within a transparent and trustworthy environment.
Why Compliance Matters
Compliance is essential in commercial finance brokering. It safeguards ARs and their clients, upholds ethical standards, mitigates risk, and ensures adherence to regulatory requirements. By maintaining high compliance standards, we help our ARs build a strong professional reputation while fostering client trust.
Compliance Principles for Business
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) oversees the regulation of retail financial markets under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000). As an AR of Fiducia Commercial Network, members operate under our FCA authorisation, governed by a legally binding contract. This arrangement ensures ARs have the regulatory framework and support needed to operate confidently and compliantly. By adhering to our network procedures, ARs align with the FCA’s Principles for Business and its Fair Treatment of Customers, reinforcing transparency and accountability across all broker-client interactions.
