The British Financial Market Authority (FCA) recently announced on its website that Swiss Life Asset Group is not registered with the FCA or authorized by the FCA, but claims to be authorized to provide financial services to the British public. The company is an EEA authorized company "licensing company". The actual authorized company is Swiss Life (Liechtenstein) AG (Regulatory number: 461566).
The so-called "set of license companies" is to clone the basic information and regulatory information of FCA formally authorized companies, such as using the same or similar company name with the authorized company name, regulatory certificate number (FRN), etc., in an attempt to achieve the purpose of "fake" and confuse customers. EEA authorisation is a form of FCA authorisation that allows companies to do business in the UK and the European Economic Area, but its regulatory sovereign is Cyprus.
The FCA warns that it is important to be vigilant when dealing with such companies, which often contact you directly or by other means out of the blue, using the name of an authorised company.
