FSCS is the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme. It only protects customers of authorised firms.
What the regulator published
Financial Conduct Authority (GB) listed Wyseforte Bank on 6 October 2026 as a firm that is not authorised to offer financial services. Website given by the regulator: wyseforte.co.uk.
A regulator puts a firm on its warning list when it offers financial services without the authorisation it needs there. Customers of a firm like this usually cannot use the protections that come with authorised firms, such as the ombudsman or a compensation scheme.
