UK Financial Services Verification

In order to show financial services ads of any kind in the UK - including showing ads to UK users who appear to be seeking financial services - advertisers need to be verified by Google. As part of the verification process, advertisers must demonstrate that they are authorized by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (UK FCA) or qualify for one of the exemptions.

To complete verification or apply for an exemption from UK FCA authorization, applications must be submitted by an Authorized Representative (anyone acting on behalf of the firm such as an Agency) of the organization via the form given below. 

[Important] Beginning September 26, 2023 Google will require that a contact from the FCA registered entity has been added to your Google Ads account. Please ensure the contact has accepted the invitation before completing this form. Visit the UK Financial Services Verification page for more information.
