Key information for firms in TPR
The passporting regime ended once the Brexit transition period finished on 31 December 2020. From that moment, all European Economic Area (EEA) firms that want to continue providing services in the UK needed to either be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or registered under the Temporary Permissions Regime (TPR).
The TPR is due to end on 31st December 2023. Please read the following information to find your current position.
If your chosen route was TPR, you had to send a 'notice of intention' to the FCA by 31 December 2021 to apply for authorisation (or registration in the case of Registered Account Information Service Providers (RAISP)). Firms were then required by the regulator to have submitted their authorisation application to the FCA by December 2022 for it to be processed and reviewed.
These deadlines have now passed, if you are a firm looking to offer payment services or issue e-money you will now have to follow a standard approach to achieve FCA authorisation. To find out more about the process and everything involved visit our FCA Authorisations service page.
If you did not choose TPR as your route to authorisation, but you would like to become authorised, then you will need to follow the standard approach to achieve FCA authorisation and can speak to an expert within our team who will be able to help you through the process.
