The FCA has urged financial services firms to be ready for the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December as it prepares to make 300 updates to its website.

The FCA’s Financial Services Register will be offline for five days from 31 December to 4 January while the regulator makes Brexit-related changes.

The FCA has today launched its long-awaited upgraded Financial Services Register with what it calls a simpler design and clearer language.

The FCA has issued a warning about an attempt to replicate its register on a non-FCA website.
