Investment Firms Authorised in United Kingdom
Every entry ESMA union public register — authorised investment firms (MiFID / AIFMD / UCITS) holds for United Kingdom — what each firm is authorised as, when, and which authorisations have since been withdrawn.
What this register covers. MiFID / AIFMD / UCITS investment firms — NOT the MiCA crypto register. A firm listed here may hold no permission for anything else, and a firm absent from it may be lawfully authorised under a regime this register does not cover. If the firm you are checking offered you crypto, start with the guided check.
An authorisation is not an endorsement. ESMA publishes that a firm is authorised. That is a record of a permission, not a recommendation, and not a statement that the firm is safe. No firm on this page is scored, ranked or assessed by us, there is no green tick anywhere on this site, and lists are ordered alphabetically so that the order cannot be read as a judgement either.

If the Firm You Are Checking Is Not Listed Above
That is not a finding against it. A firm authorised anywhere in the EEA may serve clients in other member states once it has notified them. The union register we hold does not record those notifications, so we cannot tell you whether a given firm has notified for United Kingdom.
We hold 69,223 current entries across every register on this site. Ask the firm which authority regulates it for your country, then check that authority’s own register — and treat an unwillingness to answer that question as the answer.

What Grouping by United Kingdom Means Here
This is the jurisdiction whose authority recorded the authorisation — not necessarily the only place the firm operates. On the union register it is the home member state: a firm authorised in one member state may serve clients in others, and the register separately records branches with a host state. Entries marked branch on this page are branch entries rather than head offices.
Being present on this page does not mean a firm may do everything. The register overview explains what the permissions are and what falls outside them.
