Debt charity Christians Against Poverty has announced that it has been officially authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Chief Executive Officer Matt Barlow said: “We fully support the FCA in its mission to ensure best practice in the industry on behalf of the consumer. It has long been our goal to offer the very best service to some of the most vulnerable in our society and therefore, I’m delighted the FCA has given us this official authorisation.”
Applicants each have to meet a range of requirements to receive authorisation with the FCA reviewing business plans, risks assessments, budgets, resources, systems, controls and whether key staff have the necessary qualifications, experience and ability to carry out their roles effectively. The FCA’s comprehensive process has been another step in CAP’s 21-year history that has seen it win multiple industry awards.
