Name: Keiron Partners (Clone of FCA authorised firm)
Address: Broadwalk House, 5 Appold Street, London, UNITED KINGDOM, EC2A 2AG

What this means for you
If you deal with this firm, you won't have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service[4] if you want to complain.
You also won't be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)[5] if things go wrong. This means it's unlikely you'd get your money back if the firm goes out of business.
If you sent money to a fraudster on or after 7 October 2024, you may be covered by protections introduced by the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR). Find out what to do if you've been tricked into making a payment[6] to a scam account.
How to protect yourself
You should only deal with financial firms that are authorised by us. If a financial firm is authorised by us, it gives you greater protection if things go wrong.
You can use the FCA Firm Checker[7] to make sure a financial firm is authorised by us and has our permission to provide the services you're looking for.
You'll also be able to find:
- information on how you're protected
- contact details for authorised firms
If you're contacted unexpectedly by a financial business, make sure you reply using the contact details on the Firm Checker.
