Regulation
Aurora Finspire operates within the United Kingdom framework that governs services connected with digital assets and cryptoassets. That includes the rules on how such services may be promoted to consumers, on preventing financial crime, on sanctions and on the handling of personal data, which apply across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
| Jurisdiction | Regulator | Registration / regulatory basis |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom (national) | Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) | Complies with the FCA rules that apply to the promotion of cryptoassets to UK consumers, including clear risk warnings, and with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017 for cryptoasset activity. Registration details are confirmed with the relevant provider on request. |
| England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland | Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) | Complies with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 for the collection, storage and sharing of personal data, including lawful bases, retention limits and the rights of data subjects. |
| United Kingdom (sanctions) | Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) | Complies with UK financial sanctions requirements by screening customers and payments against the UK sanctions list as part of onboarding and ongoing monitoring. |
| United Kingdom (advertising) | Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) | Complies with the UK advertising codes, which require marketing for financial products to be clear, fair and not misleading. |
Transparency about regulation
Aurora Finspire aims to maintain every registration, permission and compliance procedure that applies to the services it provides in the United Kingdom. Where a body asks us to evidence something, we provide it, and where our position changes, this page changes with it.
If you want to see the detail behind a line in the table, ask. Registration details are confirmed with the relevant provider on request, and you can write to [email protected] at any time.
Regulation does not remove investment risk and does not guarantee a profit. Digital assets are subject to market volatility and other risks, and you may lose some or all of the money you put in.
No compensation scheme for cryptoassets
Cryptoassets are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Sterling held in a bank account with a UK-authorised bank may be protected by the FSCS up to the applicable limit, but that protection does not extend to the value of cryptoassets or to losses caused by market movements.
You will find the practical steps we take to protect your account on the Security page.
What the rules mean for you
Fair, clear and not misleading
UK rules require promotions for cryptoassets to carry prominent risk warnings and to avoid creating false impressions. That is why you will find risk wording beside our figures, and why our reviews carry a note that they are individual opinions and not predictions.
Identity checks
Verification is a legal duty, set out on the AML and KYC page.
Your data rights
Access, correction and erasure, explained in the Privacy Policy.
A route if something goes wrong
If you are unhappy with us, our complaints procedure explains each stage, how long it takes and which independent organisations may be able to look at your case if we cannot resolve it.
