Providers close, rebrand and change their websites. To keep the directory usable, our system checks it every week.
What happens every Monday
Early every Monday morning, our system:
- visits every provider's website and confirms it is live and belongs to a firm that is still operating
- updates the provider's Verified date when the check passes
- removes a provider whose website has failed the check three weeks in a row
- adds new firms that have appeared on the FCA registers of e-money and payment institutions, after checking them in the same way
If new providers are added, we email you to let you know. See Emails from Pro Kit.
The dates at the top of the page
Under the heading on the Financial options page you'll see two dates:
- Last verified: the most recent date any provider in the directory was checked.
- Next refresh: the next Monday, when the next check is due.
The date on each card
Verified and a date is the last time that provider's website passed the check. A new provider shows Added and a date, or Recently added.
Stance labels are reviewed regularly as well, but a provider can change its products or its approach at any time, so always confirm the details with the provider before you apply.
