FCA compliance filling up your to-do list?
Good news! Zinc now offers a fully automated, instant Financial Services Register check built specifically for UK financial services teams.
Say goodbye to:
- Wasting time checking the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) register manually
- Splitting hiring workflows between Zinc and other providers just to stay compliant
- Compromising with other providers that don't give you everything you need
This isn't a bolt-on or a halfway solution. It's a purpose-built, compliant, and fully integrated check — run directly from the Zinc platform.
The Problem: No FCA automation = no scale
We asked Hamraj Gulamali, Zinc's Head of Legal and Compliance, what the risk was for financial companies who haven't automated their FCA compliance process.
"As your business scales, manual processes for core hiring profiles—like copy-pasting or juggling screenshots—quickly become a compliance liability," he said. "There’s no room for error or lack of an audit trail."
The solution? "Tasks like FSR register checks and periodic rechecking should be automated from the outset to reduce risk and maintain compliance integrity," said Hamraj.
