FCA launches new single sign-in portal for firms

The FCA has launched a new portal for registered and authorised firms with the aim of reducing the burden of regulatory reporting.

'My FCA' aims to make it easier for firms to fulfil regulatory responsibilities while improving the user experience.

From today, firms can access My FCA as a single point of sign in for regulatory reporting tasks including submitting regulatory data and paying fees. 

Previously, firms needed to sign in to three different systems.

My FCA uses existing sign in credentials to access Connect, RegData and our Online Invoicing System. Once signed in, users can see scheduled regulatory reporting and attestation tasks in one place.

My FCA also provides information and updates as well as recently published regulatory updates.

The design and implementation of My FCA is a key milestone of the Transforming Data Collection programme, a joint programme between the FCA and the Bank of England. 

Jessica Rusu, the FCA's chief data, intelligence and information officer, said: "We’re committed to being a smarter regulator under our new strategy. Central to that is us being easier to engage with. We’ve listened to feedback and created a simple, clear and easy way for firms to meet their regulatory obligations."
