What counts as an FCA fine?
An FCA fine is a financial penalty imposed by the Financial Conduct Authority and disclosed through an official notice or annual fines page. RegActions keeps monetary penalties separate from prohibitions, cancellations, public censures and other non-monetary enforcement outcomes. This prevents action counts from being mistaken for fine counts and makes the published total easier to audit.
How to verify an FCA penalty
Start with the firm or individual, penalty date and disclosed amount, then open the linked FCA notice. The notice explains the rule breaches, affected period and sanction. RegActions provides the comparison and monthly analysis layer, while the regulator publication remains the authoritative source for the decision.
