UK crypto safety

Know how crypto is regulated in the UK

Crypto is high risk and largely unregulated in the UK. Most crypto isn’t covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service, so you may have little protection if something goes wrong. You can check whether a firm is registered or find scam warnings using the FCA’s own official tools.

  • Only invest what you can afford to lose
  • Check a firm on the FCA Register
  • Watch for pressure, guaranteed returns & fake apps
  • Crypto is not protected like bank savings

How we compare

A consistent, transparent approach

We describe each platform against the same neutral categories and, importantly, we do not assign scores, stars or rankings. Crypto details change often, so for anything that affects your money — fees, availability and account features — we always point you to the provider’s own site to confirm the current position.

Fees

Where a platform publishes them — always verify current costs directly.

Security

Publicly stated custody and account-protection practices.

UK availability

Whether UK users are served — confirm on the provider’s site.

Ease of use

General onboarding and app experience, described neutrally.

Risk warning Cryptoassets are high risk and volatile, and are largely unregulated in the UK. You could lose all the money you invest, and most crypto is not protected by the FSCS or the Financial Ombudsman Service. This is educational and comparison content only — not financial advice. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
