Why automate financial services register checks?
Manual compliance checks for SM&CR (Senior Managers & Certification Regime) candidates are slow and error-prone. Zinc automates the process to deliver fast, accurate, and audit-ready results — protecting your business and saving valuable time.
Compliance at the heart of automation
Instant results, straight to your ATS
Zinc makes Financial Services Register (FSR) checks effortless and instant — streamlining compliance for FCA-regulated roles. Say goodbye to manual errors and delays when onboarding SM&CR employees.
How it works
Zinc’s FSR checks are fast and fully integrated with your ATS, returning results in seconds as part of a comprehensive FCA-compliant background check suite. While there are three steps behind the scenes, your team and candidates experience it as one seamless click.
Candidates submit their name and IRN (Individual Reference Number). If you’ve already verified their ID, we’ll retrieve it from their document.
Zinc verifies the IRN against the FCA Financial Services Register.
You receive verified results within seconds—including past and current firm associations, status, and disciplinary history.
