The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is an independent non-governmental body, given statutory powers by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. The FSA's aim is to promote efficient, orderly and fair financial markets and help retail financial service consumers get a fair deal. The government is responsible for the overall scope of the FSA's regulatory activities and for its powers. The FSA regulates most financial services markets, exchanges and firms. It sets the standards that they must meet and can take action against firms if they fail to meet the required standards. This often involves requiring firms to pay compensation to their customers. The FSA is the single statutory regulator responsible for the authorisation and regulation of: deposit taking (eg by banks); insurance; investment business; mortgage lending; mortgage advice; general insurance advice (eg motor, home buildings/contents and travel).
